PJ,
Why do think the Michelin man looks like he does wearing a permanently inflated air fence suit???
Once bitten twice shy!!

Tyre wear is down to pressures, riding style (how ham fisted/brave with the throttle or how smooth you are), weight, track temperature, suspension set up, track surface, etc, they all interact, get em all right on the day and you tyres will grip like glue and will just wear down with no "roughness" and if you name is Valentino Rossi you will have set a new lap record!!
Its might be worth thinking of any rough areas as "distress", unavoidable for the vast majority of riders and even the racing elite take tyres beyond the ideal parameters in the desire to win.
