I thought center wear=to high pressure, outside wear=to little pressure. As it turns out, now i'm told thats wrong, the construction on these tires is such that too little pressure=center wear. makes no sense to me but porsche reccomends 36psi for that size on the rear for the Caymen.

Ken, if they're wearing fast in the middle they likely have too much air. Alignment may be an issue as well, but the primary factor in wearing out the middle of the tire faster than the shoulders is over-inflation.
