tire wear

A&Q about 350Z
Q:

You got one more set of tires out of Nissan than I did. Buy something other than Bridgestones, align it every 6 months, and enjoy the car. It's not the end of the world unless you let it be.

After 41K and 4 years don't even get me started on the number of tire changes and alignment specification BS. And that is all we get from Nissan is BS.

I may just not be understanding something, but how would that do away with the tire wear problem? It lowers the height 20mm, so why wouldn't any other kit that lowers it that much not solve the problem also, or will it? It seems as if Nissan would do it from the factory if that would solve it so easily.
A:

My guess is that the tire wear issue has to do with a natural frequency in the suspension system. When you change a component you change the frequency and in return the MPH where you have the problem. ie The problem hasnt gone away, just changed where it occurs. If it occurs at 100 instead of 65 mph then no one will ever see it. These types of issues are hard to find, especially if not looking for it.
