I have settled on continental race lite, for me great combo of weight and resistance. I have 1750 miles on 28mm conti GP5000 with these tubes and no flats (course I just jinxed my self)

I tried latex tubes with Vittoria corsa G great ride, but it was like wrestling snake to install and had a huge blow out, knocking tire off he rim....was going slow but as speed it would have hurt really really bad.

I tried some of the light butyl tubes from https://biketubebrand.com/roadbiketubes but did not have a lot of luck....but I blame that more on the Vittoria Corsa G tires.....amazing ride and handling, but I got 8 flats in 600 miles. so I ditched them for the Contis
