Many pro/world record/etc tires have been epoxied in the past as well for the reasons you mention, although again, some of that data has some age at this point.
Is there new data that shows better? The glue up test was done not that long ago, I believe only 4-5 years ago. Can't remember the name of the site, but they test tires and chain set ups quite frequently.
