OP. Just to make sure we're all talking about the same thing. When you say "inside" do you mean the middle of the tire or inside as in closest to the car? Since you said "outsides", I'm assuming that by "inside" you mean the middle of the tire.
I think there is an outside, middle and inside. My outsides are wearing too quickly. You are right, too much air causes the center of the tire to wear quickly, while too little causes the insides and outsides...

Another example would be that camber typically wears out the inside of the tire.
