[ST] Rear Tire "Squaring Off" ?



I've noticed that my back tire has a wear pattern down the center of the 
tire that is a strip about 1" - 1.5" wide and flat.  I have a couple of 
questions that I normally would have searched the archives for an answer.  I 
have a 2001 ST with just over 6000 miles on it and the original tires.

1.  What caused this wear pattern (tire overinflated or just normal wear)?
2.  How will this affect traction/grip especially during cornering (rest of 
the tread on the tire is fine - not yet to wear indicator marks).

TIA

Chris
'01 ST
