I read your description again.

Let me say this, butyl rubber is porous. Its ability to hold air is not absolute. If a thin spot in the tube landed on a dimple, it might have just been an inevitable flat that you couldn't possibly predict or foresee.

That is my best explanation, but you seem to know your own equipment well enough.

We all hate flats. That blue tape just seems too loose fitting, and I don't like it. But they sell it, and people use it and maybe it just doesn't match up perfectly with your rims.

You can always go back to what you were using before.
