I used Michelin latex a couple years ago. The experience was good. I did not encounter any problem while installing, maybe because my wheels are wide internal thus easier to instal. Also the tube lasted as long as the tires, 3000km. I reused the tube after changing new set of tires but they later failed near the valve, common for latex I believe. I switched back to butyl because of the price. Now trying michelin latex again and still going well nearing 2000km. What helped perhaps was I double rolled the rims with tubeless tape until near the hook with the rest of the exposed rim covered by the tire bead, in theory and done correctly, in my mind it could act as insulation from the heat of the rim under braking as latex don't do well with heat. I'm doing the same now
