Despite what the manual says, what is the pressure molded (moulded) in the tire sidewall?

Pressure too low can induce weaving/wobbling at higher speed as well as creating excessive heat. Riding in the dirt at lower speed is okay with lower pressure, but returning to asphalt needs normal pressure restored.

Regarding wear in the middle, have you tried shifting up from a gear higher than 1st? That allows one to actually LEAN in curves. An alternate plan is to load about 40 kg of weight on one side of the bike, then shift it to the other side once the tread has worn to compensate the weight bias.

Trust me, I read it on the internet.
