Front tires wearing on inside bad

Recently purchased a 2011 335is convertible. Has around 70k miles. Ca,e with stock 19's with potenza rft. When I bought it, the only thing wring with the car was the inside front drivers side tire was wearing down really bad. The tires were 8-9 left so were pretty new but had to get new ones because of that. After taking them off, I noticed the other front inside was wearing down but not as much. After I got the new tires (continental dws-06), I got an alignment right away so this doesn't happen again. its been about 3 weeks and I looked on the inside drivers side and looks to be wearing more that the other side inside. Think its going to do it again. Is this a common thing? and what could be the problem if not the alignment? When i back up with the wheel turn hard right, there does sound like there is rubbing or something but i had the alignment guy check to make sure there was no rubbing. Please let me know what you think.

Attached is before and after alignment.
