all similar failures of a new tyre each time with an individual photo
The rim is smooth all screws covered well by tape, why does this keep happening? Should I get a new rim or try a different tyre?
Luckily I get refunded due to lifetime warranty but one of them was bought on eBay.
One one of the photos you can see the rim taped up properly and another photo shows the seam line on the rim, this doesn't always correlate to the position of the tear.
My brother uses the bike, he got someone to patch the inner tube up but it exploded the same day probably due to the tear in the tyre. (Patch was fine- althought I always just replace the whole inner tube)

If you have rim brakes check if they are misaligned and rubbing on your tyre
The fact they are all tearing the same way, in the same spot, leave me to believe this is an issue with the wheel.
What pressure do you inflate to?
As others have said – burring in the rim causing wear and (literal tear) or caliper/pad rub
