I wonder if it has to do with making the kill as well.
I have noticed that Tigers tend to hold fast on their kills throat or spine while lions don't hold on as long since they have more mouth's to help with the kill. Maybe also since their large prey usually has back up so they are forced to release more often while tigers like to separate their large prey and make quick kills if possible.
So maybe the curved canine allows them to withstand the tug of war motion while maintaining their bite.
