Seeing that it's both tires, it could also be that they are worn to the point where you are getting pinch flats because it's too flexible, but I am guessing there.

Funny, but I have a set of 28c Vittorios, with about 600 miles on them, and got an unexplained flat a few days ago. Just riding along, heard a pop sound, and it was flat. Nothing in the tire, no punctures etc.
This sounds likely. I always check the inside of the tire after a flat to make sure the offender isn't waiting to puncture another tube.
