Help on tire worn out on the inside...

Hello, I have a 99 TL and i lowered it with H & R sport springs with Tokico illumina shocks. I put 18 inch Enkei LM1 rims on their and i just took it to get my tires rotated and balanced. They said the inside of my tires are severely worn out and I need to replace them ASAP. I have had the wheels and tires on there for 15,000 miles and I am wondering what tires I should replace them with to minimize the wearing in the inside of the tires. If you guys could help me out please that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Might want to check your alignment or get a camber kit.

You have a camber issue my friend! No tire isnt going to do this until you resolve this issue first...

The more you lower your car, the more the inside portions of the tires will wear out without doing a proper alignment job. The camber setting is all screwed up. You need to go for an alignment, and maybe a camber kit as well.
