Question cupping tires??

1995 GS300

A while ago, my car began to vibrate in a weird way at highway spepds, not a balance issue. I took it to lexus and they said my tires are cupping while i though my calipers were stickin. Brand new tires which only had 2000 miles (winter yokohama ice guards). The vibration will appear for 2 3 minutes and then go away.

I am beginning to think that its my brakes again because i had to slam on my brakes on the highway and then go 65 again and thats when the vibration came again. I know i need new calipers in the back and thats where the vibration is comming from.

Anyone have cupping issues?? How do your tires cup?? Let me know!!
