Maintenance/Repairs

Purchased a new Volvo XC 90 in May 2021. In January 2023 (with 30,000 miles) I took to the dealership with a very loud thumping road noise. All four tires were worn unevenly. The center of each tire had less tread depth than the outside of the tires. They said that was causing the loud thumping noise. All four were replaced and solved the problem. The question I have is should I stick to the manufacturer’s recommended 38 tire pressure seeing that a great majority of the 30,000 miles was long-distance highway driving? On long trips would it make sense to lower the tire pressure a bit and would that lessen the chance of the center of the tires from wearing more than the outside edges?
