Default Ride Height and Tire Wear

When I was in a couple of weeks ago for the oil change I was told that I'm going to need a new set of tires soon. I was a bit surprised since as recent as a month ago a guy at the dealership told me what great shape my tires were in. Turns out they do look great on the outside of the vehicle but the inside edges are wearing quite badly. The fellow telling me this was saying it was likely a result of the ride height being lowered.
Does this sound right, and what can be done about it when I get my new boots?

Sounds like you need to adjust you camber it's too negetive , did you have the car lowered ?
you can get new front camber bolts for the front and adjustible camber arms for the rear ,,but if it's still factory height then you may only need to have it aligned ,,, Good Luck
