Just for the record, I'm not saying that overinflated radials can't/don't wear in the center, it's just more situational, like Barry and others have said. (There are plenty of cases where tires wore out the shoulders at placard pressure, too.)

I feel like there's a lot of received wisdom from the bias-ply days that's still informing some people's thoughts on tire pressure. Those absolutely would wear out funny if you didn't keep the pressures in the sweet spot!
