Wear will be heavily on the middle. PSI depends more on the tire than saying 40psi is to high for on the road. I run mine at 45psi because they are mushrooms. Next time I will get a smaller sidewall. Hydroplaning, I would think there would be less chance of it as the contact patch would be smaller making less of a surface to hydroplane on.
