A lot of how and where the vehicle was driven comes into play; lowered cars that are not really pushed hard tend not to see the impact to the same level, cars driven harder, or tracked, it shows up more pronounced. Type of tire (durometer value of the rubber) also comes into play as softer tires are always going to wear faster, particularly in hot climates. Another comment would be how well it was aligned after you first lowered it; little things combine to count for a lot in this area.......
