i believe this is true. the wear seems to start as a very rapid "squaring" or flattening of the profile of the tire. people have told me it's normal but my observation of other peoples' bikes it that it's more extreme in my case.
today i did a short lunchtime ride at 60-65psi. i actually did get a few PRs, but the wind was coming from an unusual direction, so that's not meaningful. definitely much more jarring on the rough spots, trolley track crossings, etc, but i will say it feels AWESOME on the smooth sections, like riding on rails
