Default Tire Pressure on Street with Nitto Drag Radials

I have 16" Nitto Drag Radials P245/50R16 96V on my 93 GT Mustang.
I have about 3000 miles on them. They are worn unevenly. Most of the wear is in the middle of the tire. I'm running 30psi on the street and 18psi at the track.
Do you think my street pressure is to high, which is why I am getting wear in the middle of the tire? Just wondering what everyone is running for pressure on the street with Nitto Drag Radials.
Thanks

I do not personally run them but the people I know who do are running them around that same psi on the street, you could always try dropping it down a bit though just to see.
