Actually factually, I agree with both of you. But I would NEVER count on gluing sidewalls as a cure-all for tyre chunking. That treatment will also 'help' the tyre chunk more if not done properly and also depends on how objects come in contact with the sidewalls of the tyres. Another big help is to radius the outside edge of the tyre nice and smooth.
But nothing beats error-free driving.......
