Default Taping tyres - yes or no?

Hey guys,

Ive got several sets of new tyres, and before I glue them up I ALWAYS thought it was important to tape/strap the tyres so they dont balloon out.

I first saw this tip here:

However, at a local track, other racers were saying this is wrong and that tyre manufacturers DESIGN the tyres to balloon and taping is ruining this.

Bottom line - to tape or not to tape?

Thanks guys
Andrew <=== very confused!!
