I don't think there is any more stress on a wheel when you are cornering than when you are going straight. When you lean into a corner the wheel is still
pressing straight down on the road surface. I used to have a Harley with a sidecar, now that was hard on spokes because the wheels were always
at a 90 degree angle to the road so when cornering there was a lot of side stress placed on the spokes.
