Do not wear them inside.
Nooo, sorry.
Get your tracking fixed.

l think it has something to do with tracking.

Yes its toeing out too much, excessive toe out will wear the inside edge of the tyre.

toe wear (what you have) is usually caused by worn tie rod ends. This usually goes hand and hand with alignment

You have altered the geometry of the steering. The cast and angle of the wheels are different and thus your tyres do not run true. The wheels may need 'tracking'.

Hmmm, this is a car question in the motorcycle section of the site.
Seriously though your tracking is way out and your car probably handles worse than it ever did. Get a wheel alighnemt done and it should improve things.
You sould also get the tyres swapped on the rims to get most wear out of them on both sides while you have the other work done.

Sell the car and buy a motorcycle so the next time you have a question you can ask it on the cars category?

Lowering a car can mean that the front suspension geometry is altered - especially if u have McPherson type front suspension. What has happened is that as the springs r shortened, or the torsion bars r wound up, the front tyres gain a 'negative camber', meaning that the bottoms of the front tyres r further apart than the tops. You will need to have all four wheels laser aligned, but with some vehicles, u may not be able to overcome the problem. Go to a good independent tyre specialist & ask them to take a look.

If both of them are wearing on the inside edge then it is unlikely to be the tracking. If one is wearing on the outside and the other on the inside then you have a tracking problem.
The other thing it may be is you need to check the camber of the wheels. This needs adjusting if you have lowered the car as the suspension geometry will need to be changed.

Always the first thing to do after lowering is to get the car tracked and camber checked, take it a specialist, not just your local garage. You tyre place should have told you the problem, do not use them again.

This is a hard problem to fix due to the nature of the cars original suspension. When lowered the cars suspension is all the way up and difficult to align depending on the type of setup you have to lower your car. If its a cheap spring or cut spring your out of luck. If you have full coil overs and other suspension parts you might be able to fix this problem. It is the price you pay for having a ''slammed'' ride.
