Higher tire pressures within reason tend to wear the tire more towards the center. Boxter tires usually wear at the edges... Inside edge for daily drivers/freeway riders, outside edge for canyon carvers/track hounds. I tend to wear em out on the outside even with max negative camber. A little extra air can be a good thing.
