When you change the alignment on your car, you are making sure that all of the tires are in a straight line. You can tell when an alignment is necessary because the tires will wear unevenly and your vehicle may drift.

No, the CV axle only allows the power from the engine to reach the wheels. It does not affect the alignment, which is what will cause uneven wear.
What causes rear tires to bald all over?
Can be that they're simply worn out. Particularly if it's a rear drive car, then accelerating hard will put a lot of wear on the rear tires.
Why and how are tires rotated?
Why? To even out tire wear. The front tires will wear much quicker than the rears on a FWD vehicle. The front tires are pulling the vehicle and are also steering the vehicle. This causes friction which causes wear. You rotate by simply putting the rear tires on the front and the front tires on the rear every 10,000 miles. Click the link and go to Tire Rotation.

This is caused by not rotating your tires on a regular basis. Also, over-accelerating through corners will wear down your rear tires. Or rear alignment is out of spec.
How would bad shocks and bad struts effect your tires over a peiod of time?
Well first, they don't effect....they affect your tires causing premature wear. The faster wear happens because the tire is not rolling smoothly over the surface. This causes the tires to get flat spots (sometimes called cupping) and to wear unevenly. It's kind of like your shoes. If you look at the way your shoes wear you can tell where you are putting the most pressure on them. It causes the heal to wear unevenly and sometimes you can wear a hole in the soles long before the shoes are completely worn out. Same thing happens to tires. You will have areas on the tire worn clear down to the threads (belts) and yet some areas still have a lot of rubber left.
