When Tyres&Alloys begin to leak they usually buff/clean the inside of the rims it may be yours have what is termed as "White Rust" which is a like powdery thin crust that builds up over time usually on galvanized & alloy metals & this will stop the tyre beading properly onto the inner flange to give it an airtight seal

In this day and age I would have thought part worn tyres wouldn’t be cost effective?
There are plenty of good quality budget tyres available.
