Why You Should Really Think About The Tires You Buy

Question:
Okay so yesterday me and some S13 buddies decided let's go have some fun! First my buddy shreds his tire due to some camber wear and half of the tire is practically gone, all the way down to the bar gone. My car was doing okay but it was acting a little funny, but I checked everything out and it seemed fine.
Then it was time for the touge, about two minutes into the mountain.... Well let's just look at the day after pictures.

Answer:
Ouch! When, during the drive, did it happen?
Answer:
wait what kinda tires were they?
Answer:
Good question, since you seem to hint that you bought crappy tires in the subject.
Answer:
damn.
same happened to me while i was on the 110 N bound Pasadena. for those who know that area... it's quite a curvaceous freeway.
Answer:
I think they were some crappy Azenis or something like that, they came with the rims and both of them were cheap. So here are my new play toys =]

Run into a hacksaw by any chance?
Answer:
They were track rims before and will be used for the same purpose when I get the money for a full set of rims n tires.
Answer:
Ouuuch! Those look bad. The Rotas (I'm assuming) look good on your car though.
