Tire will wear off more in the middle when overinflated due to middle being pushed out more than it should. When under inflated it'll wear off more on the sides because center isn't getting as much contact and so sides do more work than intended to originally. On a side note - I'd recommend keeping your tires slightly overinflated (better handling and some argue that you also get a little fuel savings), and definitely do not drive on underinflated tires (underinflation severly increases chances of hydroplaning!!!). Personally I keep it 5-10 psi over factory recommended pressure (make sure that your tires are cold when you check their pressure, best time to do so is in the morning before the sun comes up and with car not driven for at least 2-3 hours).
