Default Tire Question

hey waasup guys i have a little tire question...i have a 09 370z....i did an h&R drop without a camber kit...now my tires are eating away on the insides...so i talked to a mechanic and he told me that the stock tires are high performance and that regardless if i do a camber kit it wouldnt really help me too much...he said its the same with the corvette guys...we only get 20,000 miles or so on a set....so wat i wanna know is...is that true?...and did anyone of u guys experience this or know anyone who has?...beacuse these tires are expensive as sh!t....so i dont know wat i should do...get the camber kit and save watever thread i have left.....or get new tires...i know gettin both is the best thing to do...but i really cant afford that right now....any help or info will help...thanks

Best bet is to check your alignment, if it is out then get a camber kit.
If not then you can just keep getting tires and check your alignment every so often.

Do you have 18 or 19 inch wheels?
The 19" stock tires will last up to 20,000 miles, a few people have gone over that but with a modified suspension you will be lower by a little.
