I used em with quite some success actually, once i realised why they were splitting.
More talc needed! And regular deflation to reposition them. They seem to be so flexible that they allow the tyre to walk around the rim, and if they stick to the inside of the tyre at any point, you end up with 1/4 of the tube stretched round 3/4 of the tyre. Then they pop.
Butyl tubes are made of sterner stuff, so they don't allow the tyre to walk so much, and they will (probably) unstick themselves when they get slightly stretched.......
I used latex tubes from the late 90's, until i went tubeless 3 or 4 years ago. Had a couple of splits when i first started, and nothing since.
