Prolly he meant that they will wear unevenly if the car drop is >2" Lowering a car does not wear tyres any more(or less).

the only way u lower your car that can wear your tire fast is
1.too low and cant use camber kit..cause one you sraighten out your wheel ..you get rubbing issue so might as well leave it like that
2.gay alignment
3. the only way ucan lower with out the camber take any wear to your tire if u lower like 0.9 inches.lol !!

just get a camber kit for the front and rears.

tires will wear faster because when you lower it, the camber will be off.

camber is where the wheels will lean in or out. without proper camber, tires will abnormally wear out faster.
