strange tire wear (99 vw golf)

While changing the oil on my wife's golf yesterday I noticed very strange tire wear on the front pair of tires (Eagle GA's maybe?). Rather than the inner or outer edge being worn down (as seems typical with age) the center tread stripe was close to smooth while the inner/outer corners were still rather well defined (they were not worn down to the tread wear indicators yet. These tires (which I assume are original) have ~51k miles and are due to be replaced soon - the amount of wear seemed strange though. Is this a sign of chronic underinflation?
an aside, What is the proper tire size to use on a '88 900S with SPG style alloys? I currently have 195-65-?? and they seem too large (spedometer always seems a little slow) Would 185's handle like crap? Would they be too soft? I like taking freeway corners at 65-70 - would the lean be unbearable with this narrower width?
