Default M/T Drag radials, balling up???

So heres the deal, I have about 250 miles on my 275-40-17 M/T drags radials and they are just all tore up, feathered and balled up. I have looked at a couple of buddys cars with the same tires with 3 times the miles on them and they look brand new? I am using them correctly according to M/T, infact they have been at 30psi and i have yet to do a big burnout. There are a few others around town that have the same issues with there tires, could it be a bad batch of tires? Now i could see if i had real high power car but i only have low 3xx rwhp so wtf? Anyone have this same problem?

I run 22psi in mine on the street and at the track. They have about 25 track passes on them and still look good. Mine done the same thing last time at the track. I think I just done to big of a burnout. I have put a few miles on them since I was at the track and they are going back to normal now.
