I don't know about that, on the street, what percentage of time is spent in corners? And most of that time they're low speed corners. My bike tyres seem to always end up with a bit of a square profile from being used mostly in a straight line.
I agree 'car' profile tyre would probably be better, but don't see bike profiles being a problem. They're probably more aerodynamic too.
