Question about Tread wear?

I know that dropping the car will cause quicker tread wear for your tires, but how long does everyone can roll before they need to replace their tires? Is there any way to make your tires last longer? It's only the inner part of my tires that wear out quickest! Should I invert the tires to use the other side? Has anyone done this? Does the camber kit help with this?

Any comments or suggestions is appreciated!

Thanks.

If you are wearing only on the inside, a camber kit would straighten the tire so it achieves even wear over the entire surface. You paid for the whole tire, use it.

Ya or make alot of HARD high speed turns ,then the outside edge will wear, then alot of power take-offs to wear down the middle.J/K
just finish the lowering job with an alignment

If you really mean center as in center of tread on tire then thats from either to much air or if on the front tire it's more than likely from torque

you have too much air in your tire. it's over inflated.
As for tires wearing faster if you lower your car, that's not true unless you have a camber problem.
