Default 2010 GS350 AWD tire issue/wear/question

Hello friends,
I recently notice the front right tire on my GS makes a bearing sound like at 40mph and increases at 55mph. Anything after 60mph is not too bad. I looked at the tire and notice the inner top of the tire is wavy. My brother says the strut is bad. I think not because, the car dose not bounce and strut is dry of fluids. The car has 38K miles on it, alignment was done by dealer at 35K
I did rotate the tires front to rear sound went away for a day and started back up again.so I know its not the bearing.
Do I need better tires? another alignment? or strut? any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

In my opinion this is a suspension related issue probably strut. You described 'cupping' a fairly common tire wear issue.

it could be the strut but it is just not noticeable at all. Even when I try to push on the fender to make it bounce it doesn't bounce. Both sides have the same effect.
I'll take it back to dealer see what kind of BS I get.
