Default Tire wear question

Say for example front or rear tires were wearing fast on the edges due to improper alignment but the alignment got fixed before the edges got bald. Would the tires eventually even out with the wear since the alignment has been fixed? I'm curious, wierd questions like this alway pop into my head.

No, the set that was worn down improperly will just stay that way until it's time for replacement.

+1 the increased wear on the inner edge is already there, it won't replenish itself.

the increased wear side won't continue to become worse and worse (compared to the rest)...but it will wear at the same rate as the rest
