Agreed,which is kinda the same thing I meant, if the tube is tear drop shaped more pressure will be exerted to the top side of the tire then in between the rim section at the bead causing the tire to want to peel in a high speed corner.It's all good info.I should have posted exactly what I was thinking but I was on my first cup of coffee.
