Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Based on the newer post, it might simply be age and chafing of dried out material. This might be compounded by inadequate pressure which causes excess tire wall flex.

If you're not ready to replace both tires and tubes, try riding at or near the maximum pressure marked on the tire walls. However, long term, you might have to accept that your tires are well beyond their prime of life.
