I personally like a harder ride. The better I feel the road, the
better I can adjust with the changing road conditions. At least I
believe this to be true.

I check my tire pressure regularly and can't remember any time that
I've ever had a tire wear in the middle. I'm not saying what you
state above isn't true, just that I've never run acrossed it.
