if the center is wearing faster than the outside and inside of the tire then you're over inflated, assuming the outside and inside are around the same tread depth. if the outside, center, and inside are all at different tread depths then it's a combination of camber and tire pressure causing that.

Overinflation causes the tread to contact the pavement
in a way that eats the outer edges when aggressivly turning.

So its overinflation for both your tire wear problems.
Are the outer edges feathering at all like they would with
properly inflated overaggressive turning applications?

Im going with the aggressive driving here.
My rears have about 2/32 less tread down the middle, vs the outside.
but then again I cannot rotate either. The fronts are doing surprising well
