tire wear with 2" drop

i was wondering how often you guys change your tires when you have a 2" drop, specifically eibach sportlines(i know it's not 2" but close enough for me..). my friend said he changed his twice a year.

Why would lowering your car effect the wear on your tires? You should be able to go 40k to 60k miles on a good set of tires

its strongly recommended for you to get alignment kit after you change to Eibach SPortline. Both front and rear alignment kits, rear ones especially. And also change the shocks if you could, coz the springs will be too stiff for the stock shocks and the stock shocks will wear out in no time.
