Both of those tubes are are a little too skinny for that width of tire

vulnerable to more punctures.
One of my tires developed a slow leak that got less and less slow. It
manifested when I was at a convention in the hill towns, and I was
constrained to live on fruit cups from a snack vendor because I dared
not ride my bike into town to buy food. On the way home, I had to
stop at decreasing intervals to pump up the tire. When I got the tire
off, there was an oval of leaks around the valve stem.
My mechanic had assured me that a one-inch tube would stretch to fit
an inch-and-a-quarter tire, and it did -- except at the valve stem.
There, the tube was loose enough to rub against the tire.
