do you find the high pressure wearing your tires differently?

i would think that 38psi might wear the center of the tread out a pinch sooner.
i usually put 2~3 psi more in the tire than the car maker recommends... this way with the normal reduction i find in tire air over a few weeks time, i have spent most of that time at or slightly above the recommended pressure and dont wear my tire edges out or feel the slop when i make a turn.
