Sounds like a combo of cheap tubes and bad rim strips. Pull off your tire/tube and check to see that all the holes for the spoke nipples and spoke nipples themselves are deburred, if not, go ahead and care care of that. Then get a quality rim strip of the appropriate width. I see a lot of "split tubes" that are a result of bad rimstrips and poor factory QC.
