Actually, the shredding is absolutely normal . . . for a tire that is worn down to the cords. It happens all the time at the autocross races.
It is your own fault for not having an alignment, not checking your tire pressures, and for freekin' driving on BALD tires. You do realize that BALD means WORN OUT and almost DOWN TO THE CORDS?
When you hit 30,000 miles we will hear a similar post about how your engine sucks because it seized up even though you never changed the oil in it.
It's called "Regular Maintenance". You should be mad at yourself for not doing it - not you Mom, your friend, or your car. . .

o well, so im 17, so i act like a 17 year old. no biggie.
Your tire problems seem pretty strange to me. I've had two evos and at least 5 different sets of advans and have never had them shread or wear out funny like that. Maybe you should start checking the pressure more often.

That explains alot of questions I had about the original post.

Wow you are 17 and have that and all those mods, thats dangerous. Either you have a badass job or really generous parents (which I wouldnt be b***in at if I were you since they probably bought the car and ur mods) Not trying to be mean but I agree with the other guys, tires just usually dont blow they must have been extremely worn which is the owners the responsibility to rotate and check them. I see you want Falken azenis, great tires but you will be back in about 10-12k miles needed new tires again, welcome to the world of performance tires. I would suggest maybe a better street tire instead of basically race tires, but if the parents dont care and money is no object get some yokohoma neovas.

yes money is no object when it comes to tires. my parents are willing to buy me the best tires money can buy as long as they keep me safe.. so i figure i might as well get some rly nice drag tires instead of street ones.. so yea.. i want the best money can buy

IMHO
Tire pressure 1 x week, depending on use
Rotate every 3K or so, depending on use
Align every 10K or so, depending on use
Won't find a better tire than stock.
