This is what happens when you get your car lowered and then you think to your self " I dont need to fix the camber nor will i need to realign my car it should be ok."
As you can see I was wrong and stupid Ill never half *** anything ever again and it wasnt all bad it gave me an excuse to buy more stuff for my suspension. Lesson learned

dude, are you nuts?! that's EVIL!!! 
You my friend have something more than the Eibach Pro Kit going on there. There are hundreds if not thousands of us with those springs on the car right now and have been on the cars for 2+ years. I have 15,000+ on my Eibachs and tires without any unusual wear and thats on cheap *** Kumho's.
I dont think the finger can be pointed at the springs themselves. I would think it's a combination of the tires (if they are cheap), your offset (the culprit IMO) and the springs. The springs change your camber slightly, and it can't be adjusted back with the factory hardware. If your offset is wrong, like the tires sticking out farther than they should, it compounds the slight change in camber making it a big change in camber. And all that means is the tires are tipped in farther and running on the inside of the tread and the heat builds up there only and you were going at high speeds for a really long time making it all the hotter and it all goes to hell just like your picture.

That's actually not so uncommon, preventable but not uncommon. I had the camber set to -1.8 degrees on my '93 ztt, that happened to me until I decreased the amount of time between rotation/remounting.
