Inner shoulder tire wear: Agressive driving or dealer BS

Just replaced the Dunlop SP9000s on the front of my 900SE after about 26k miles (not rotated). The inside shoulders were worn to expose the edges of the belts - a condition almost invisible with routine checking of the tires. Outer shoulder and the rest of the tires showed relatively even wear almost down to the wear bars. Happily the dealer spotted the problem before I killed myself!
His take on the problem was aggressive driving (I don't see myself as overly aggressive on corners -- maybe I need to see myself differently)-- wouldn't the outer shoulder scub off with aggressive driving??
I have lowered the suspension - Eibachs and Konis - drilled out the strut mounts so that the camber is in spec.
Any thoughts or observations from those who race 900s or who are self confessed aggressive drivers?
