Sounds like your toe is messed up. Have you gotten an alignment lately?

our front ends have slight camber from the factory...and of course when you lower your car you need to check the alignment....

bumped any curbs? The alighnment can go out of spec, it's not set in concrete. I would have the alighnment checked again with respect to camber and toe in, you may just need some camber bolts for the front. It could be that something was left loose and the alighnment went out of spec...

some things to consider - what brand of tires did you put on? what is the wear rating on them? Are they soft sticky tires or are they are harder compond? Were the wheels properly balanced when the tires were put on? Do you make aggressive turns when driving?
If all else checks out, I would see what kind of warrenty you have on the tires, because if they are rated for longer wear, you may have to have the tire shop warrenty them. A friend of mine had some 60k tires put on his bronco, after 10k, they were bald as a baby's butt, and the tire shop replaced them free of charge due to warrenty. It's kinda hard to get tires warrentied because you are wearing them every time you drive, but "excess wear" is another story.. no tires should be bald after 3k, unless there is a severe camber / toe issue.

Before I sold my box I had 18's lowered on DF210's for about 2 years and never had an alignment done. My tires never had issues with camber or toe wear, cant think of why your tires do. Sorry I wasnt too helpful
