struts........yea i need help

Alright i dropped my car with coilovers and put koni fronts installed. but after i dropped my car a few months went by and i started to hear this weird noise in my tires when traveling over 45+mph. I took off my rims and saw that there were bumps along the inside of the tire( similar to knuckles on a closed fist) any ideas wut it might be from? ive had 2 diffrent sets of rims and they do the same ****. I talked to a michanic and he said it was bc the rear struts were blown...any ideas hit up the pm .

Blown struts can do that because your tires are hopping when you drive. Next time on the freeway, pay attention to some other cars. Sometimes you can see how a wheel is hopping constantly. This causes the rubber to be worn off uneven. Also make sure that all alignments are right.
