The standard advice is *not* to modify any files under $VIMRUNTIME,
including the filetype.vim that comes with the standard vim
distribution. One reason is that any changes you make will be lost when
you upgrade to a new version of vim.
If your files end in .tex and are not being recognized as LaTeX
(i.e., the 'filetype' option is not being set to "tex") then the
simplest solution is probably to add the line
let tex_flavor = "latex"
to your vimrc file. See
