Latex tubes give a smooth ride and they are resistant to snakebite pinch flats. They are a pain to patch, but if you ride in places where punctures are low frequency events, they are the way to go. Smooth, lite, and fun to ride. The material is porous, so you will have to air up before every ride.
I have had problems with these leaking around the valve stem after they are in a wheel for several months. I recently sent 3 back to Michelin for evaluation-haven't heard back yet. I have used these for years and when they were made in France they were far and away the best latex tubes you could buy. Now that they are made in Thailand I think they might not be as good. Although I have not found any other brands of latex tubes that are better so far.
