> 40 psi sounds like too much pressure for any street tire. The more pressure you put in a tire the more it wears the center out. Most street tires on passenger vehicles are between 29-33 psi

I’ll double check the new tires, my GoodYear RSA’s had a max pressure listed as 44psi.

I’ll check them out and see where the pressure is, I might as well have Dunn Tire do it actually, those lazy pricks (Walden Ave. in Lancaster/Depew) Aligned my car, and never straightened my steering wheel.
