When the ball-joints were bad and the alignment was off, the tires were probably damaged. New ball-joints and an alignment won't fix the damaged tire or tires. Once a tire starts to 'chop', it will get worse regardless of alignment. Also, you might check other stuff. Like the bearings, make sure nothing is rubbing on the tires, make sure nothing is rubbing on the brake rotor,....
