If you're talking about a bulge of like a quarter inch or so, that's pretty much normal. The flap will keep the tube inside where it belongs, assuming the flaps weren't incredibly thin and flimsy. Some tubes will come with a metal washer built in around the valve stem but there are no plates used to cover the valve stem cut-out in the wheel.

I don't know if you need 110 psi though, unless you're always lifting max load and the front end drops when you lift a load. I have a bunch of Hysters with dual 700-12s and I like to keep them around 90 psi max. They wear out in the center even at 90.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
