I've already written a bit about my opinion of the Michelin Anakee 3 - basically that they're not a bad set of tires but I doubt I'll mount another set ever again.
However, I think I may have a possible answer to your wear issue. First here's pictures of both my front (first 2 of the front) and rear (3rd pic is rear) Anakee 3's, taken just a few minutes ago, and with 2,194 miles (3,530 km) on them...
Though they appear, at least at this point, that they may outlast the Metzeler Tourance EXP's I used previously, I haven't been very happy with them otherwise. That said, I have experimented quite a bit with tire pressures with them, primarily to see if I could make them stick better on pavement. I've run as low a 31 in the front, and as high as 38. Nothing has made them achieve the grip levels I prefer, but one thing I have found is that relatively low pressures work a whole lot better. 32 to 34 for me, with 33 what I usually run with (rear seems to like 40 to 41).
Mind you, I'm a big, heavy rider, and ride pretty aggressively (ex-MX'er, ex-road-racer, and all that), so I'm not easy on my tires. As you can see from the pics I am *NOT* experiencing the wear pattern you are, but pretty even wear across the tread face of the front tire. The rear is squaring off a bit, but hat else is new? ::025::
I should note that down here in South Texas we are reknown for having some of the most abrasive pavement around and it is always *HOT* as hell (got to 104 degrees where I was riding this weekend, up around Lake Medina), so our environment is not easy on rubber, either. 80 to 85 MPH is the average highway cruise speed, too.
I'd suggest, just as an experiment, you try running your front Anakee 3 at about 31 - 34 PSI... No more than 34, with 32 or 33 being the place to start, and see if the wear pattern improves.
Hope this helps!
