Tires wearing super fast...Help!!

Basically you're looking for any excessive movement in the whole assembly. You can do that by shaking the wheel left to right to check arms and bushings, and up and down (lifting the wheel straight up. Best done with a jack handle or pry bar.) to check ball joints and wheel bearings.

You really shouldn't have any movement in any direction front or rear, so anything more than 1/8" is excessive. If you get movement, start tracing it back, working your way from the outside in.

Now i'm unsure of what our warranty cover. But since i do have a full warranty on the car is this something nissan should cover IF there is any issues?

That's up to the dealer to decide, and what mileage you have. If you have a good dealer around you, you should be able to get away with it. But I can see them throwing a fit at the lowering springs.
