i put 32 psi in my truck tires when they are cold but the treads in the middle of the tires are wearing out while the outside edges are good.im thinking this mite be because of bad alignment.so should i lower the pressure some untill i can pay for a alignment? and what could be the problem with the thread wearing out in the center of the tire much more than the sides?
 
The correct tire pressure is written on the sidewall of the tire.

example: 35PSI cold
 
It sounds like you dont have enough pressure on your tires. If theyre not inflated enough they will make soft contact with the road, especially in the middle. That soft contact will cause your tires to wear faster than they should. Check your tires to see what the recommended pressure is. 32 psi sounds pretty low for a truck, even a small one. My car tires have a max psi rating of 44 psi.
