Higher Roll Center ( lower susp. hinge pins at higher level ) help reduce rear tire wear, but not that much.

When grip is lousy, the tires skid sideways too much. You need to sugar water the track, or re-coat the asphalt. Perhaps your hometrack asphalt condition need renovation when everybody start complaining about tire wear.
