Let’s look at that all-around good rolling resistance tire, the Michelin Pro 2 Light. With a latex tube, a rolling resistance of 0.0026, or 342.7 watts using that same rider at 24.6 miler per hour. If you were to switch to a standard Bontrager butyl tube, your rolling resistance goes from 0.00266 to 0.00322, 347.7 watts. A full 5 watts slower, which would equal about 9 seconds over a 40K time trial. At 2 latex tubes at $10 a piece, that is a couple of dollars per second, not the biggest bang for your buck, but definitely a low-cost way to gain 5 watts of power. The report tested several other tires using butyl or latex, and the results were the same, about a 5 watt gain in power from using the latex tubes over the butyl.
