Not quite... Running superglue on the sidewalls stops the tyre digging in, and is done when the grip comes up to stop the car grabbing in high-speed corners, or grip-rolling. If the sidewalls didn't flex, the tyres would wear oddly, and they don't.

It's not an exclusive UK trick, it came from the States from those running at their big meetings where the grip can be mega! HTH
