Im a total noob when it comes to suspension stuff....

When a car is loaded up, or it hits a bump, and I may be totally wrong here but the tires bow out right? like / \ which is why you see lowered cars sometimes having the tires lean out like that...

so if my tires are wearing out like that and I change the struts, will it help?
