I don't think tires and suspension upgrades will help the drums. What will help is torqueing the lugnuts to the proper value. Overtorqueing will tend to warp them over time (like brake rotors). That old-school, four-way lug wrench is a killer.

Take a look at Carlisle tires. You should be able to find Carlisles or Maxxis fairly easily if you're near a Discount Tire.
