Tyre experts?

Got my sister to take a couple of wheels to the tyre shop today as they were leaking around the edge of the alloy and hence going flat in a couple of days

So they take them off and tell her the tyres are shredded on the inside.

How would they get like this? I can see the state of tyre 2 on the outside is past its best and tyre one has had a plug repair at some point, but how would they fill with the tyre "shreds"?
Here are the tyres
