slicks wear pattern

Question on reading wear pattern on my slicks. I run 17X32X15 (18280) Hooisers on a 15" rim, with 8 to 8 1/4 air pressure, 3100 pound car. On both the inside and outside of the tire, about an inch from the edges, there is a slighty rough gummy section about an inch wide. The middle of the tire stays smooth. Is this from running too narrow of a rim or too low air pressure? The specs says you can run a 15" rim. I rotate the tires but this does not seem to help...
