Usually even the cheapest tubes work with good tires and proper inflation. Unless you got some real cheapos or defective ones - it is all in the tire, (or rim hole) possibly even the reason for your flats.

I had a problem with the tube splitting at the valve while airing them up, pushing on the pump head. I started using the valve nut to hold them inplace while airing. Haven't had one split since and it's been about 7 years. A lil extra work but saves in the aggravation dept!

I've been getting my tubes from Price Point and have been very happy with them. When they are on sale, you can get 10 for less than $1.50 a tube.
