Message: Seriously, I use inexpensive tubes in all my wheels except my racing tubulars which, in general, as noted, tend to have latex tubes. I just checked--the ones I've been using lately in my clinchers are Pyramid brand. They are effectivley generic OEM rubber tubes, these happen to be from Taiwan. I think I paid $2 per tube. In the summer months I keep my road tires at 120 psi and in the winter they are 100 psi. I check maybe once a week on average and, if I have to pump them up at all, they may get one push or two from the floor pump on a weekly basis, at most three. After sitting idle for 3-4-5 weeks they get down to maybe 60 psi.
