Default Over inflation tire wear

I picked up some 35in bfg ats for pretty cheap, 2 of which have even wear and 80+% left. The other two have over inflation wear right through the middles and its about 2mm more than the outsides and its a gradual depth increase and decrease across. The "average" depth of those 2 are in line with the 80%.

I'm about to buy wheels and have them installed but wanted some advice first. The misworn 2 were the rears on a ford raptor and obviously over inflated and burned out a few times.

Soooo... Do I run them and hopefully the gradually wear more evenly with less tire pressure? Do I put the mis worn ones on the front or back? Do I sell them and look for something else.

Thanks

I would properly inflate them and throw them on the rear. I'm sure they will wear in just fine.
