Yes, started a little over 35psi which is the "minimum" on the sidewall. The center strip does look a little "shiny" compared to the herringbone section. I think as this wears to matte, grip will improve.
I went down to 30psi on my 48mm Switchback Hill (unladen), with the front rack, the front run at 35psi and the rear 30psi.
However smooth thread ≠ slippery, unless riding on towpath, wet leave etc.
