Pros and Cons of Butyl Inner Tubes

Advantages:

(1)Most tubes are made of butyl rubber. It is very elastic and holds air well.
(2) Price: Butyl tubes are more cost less than latex or thermoplastic.
(3) Pressure Loss: Butyl tubes lose air very slowly.

Disadvantages :

(1) Puncture Protection: Butyl tubes are usually not as puncture resistance as their counterparts.
(2) butyl rubber is often not the lightest material , the ultralight versions of butyl tubes use a very thin wall thickness to compensate for weight, which then reduces their durability, whereby negating one of the key strengths of the material in the first place.
(3) the level of elasticity of butyl rubber is slightly lower than with some other tube materials, which contribute to increased internal friction between the tube and the inside of the tyre, causing negative effects on rolling resistance in high performance use.”
