Mid Ohio is run clockwise so makes sense the left side tires are worked harder. Wear in the center typically indicates over-inflation (except for R888's....). The car setup may require some PSI stagger between the left and right side at this track. A temp guage measurement (tire pyrometer best, but even an infrared gun would give some info) as quickly as possible after exiting the track, to verify left vs right temp differences. Higher temp would lead to increased PSI. You may not get the temps to balance left to right, but lower PSI on the hotter side could reduce center wear.
