28 psi, I find that 30 psi takes the centre of the tread out first.

Michelin Pilots, I've gone to GSD3's running them at 28 psi cold, too early to tell about wear.

Same pressures here.
My original Goodyear rears wore in the tread centers first.

My guess is that you are running a little firm. The 30psi is a good starting point and adjust from there according to tire wear. Most people around are in the 28 to 32 range on pretty much any tire.
