Rear Shocks eating Tire?

Sup guys I have no idea if this is even the right place to put it lol. Anyway as some of you may no I put the 09 honda accord rims on my car (P225/50 R17). Replacing my stock the old 03 16" rims. Iv'e had the new tires on since July, and just recently the last 2 months I have been needing to put air in the rear passenger tire every 3-4 days. I didn't get around to looking at it since I was busy with school, and work. Today I noticed I had a total flat and you could hear the air escape when filling it up. So I took the tire off and put on my temp. Looking at the tire this is what I found all along the inner area of the tire.
Now I honesty don't know if it is the shocks that would do that, or could it be that I needed an alignment? I checked my other tires and they were fine.

Is your suspension stock? Kinda looks like excessive camber wear to me. When was the last time you had an alignment?

That my friend is run flat damaged. This meaning, you ran on your tire flat for some time, and the sidewall is damaged due to being ran flat. The indication of that you had to put air in your tires every 3-4 days states that you had a puncture somewhere in the tire. I see this on a daily basis. An alignment or struts/shocks won't cause a wear on the sidewall of the tire. An alignment and shocks/struts will cause wear on the edge of the tire.

Now instead of paying $15 to patch the tire you'll be spending $150+ to replace it.

In that case lesson learned the hard way and FML
, thanks for the input though

The good thing is that you didn't have a blow out and caused more serious damages to yourself or others.

Same thing happened to me last week. Had a flat at like 9 o'clock at night. Two blocks away from my house. I was too lazy to change it. So I drove 3 blocks back home. The next morning I throw the donut on and go to get the tire fixed. The guy popped the tire off the Tim and showed me the inside. The rim ate up the tire. Sucks.
