lowered vehicles on low pros, chime in
Right now my car is lowered with tanabe nf and my car has 20 inch wheels all around and 285/ 25 in the rear.
I had heard a hissing sound in my garage and this is what I discovered on the inner sidewall of the rear tire:

What is everyone with this setup running? I am fully aware that I would be wearing through tires faster, but this is dangerous and happening way sooner than I thought.

you shouldnt wear tires any quicker on your drop if the TOE is set correctly.
What offset are you running? and what size rim?
I was dropped on DF springs when I got my car with the WORK rims and had no issues with tire wear. I think DF is 1" lower then the NF so your drop is not the issue here.

i went through same thing not to long ago myself,,,second pic look like u got bubbles which might came from hitting something hard,,,get ur alignment done when u get new tires,,,this is what we pay having low profile tires,,,good luck,,
wow... looking at the pics, it seems like you are literally just wearing the very inside edge of the tire. notice that as soon as you get away from the edge, the tread is there.
in that case it seems like some bad toe setting. i can't remember what setting i have now, and whether the toe setting you have is good enough, but just from the look, it seems like more toe in is needed?
my car is on coilover and even lower, i know my guy put more toe in on the wheels to help compensate the inside wear. he said if toe is not set correct, it will actually eat up the inside faster than it should be

increase you tire pressure, i just had a rear tear on the inside b/c it was riding on inside wall too much b/c of low PSI, imo 25 side profile is too low id stick with a 30 or 35 if possible.
