The only thing I can find is impact related damage as a cause. Not alignment. Bubbles can show weeks to months after the initial damage as the tire weakens. However, same side same spot is highly unlikely and improbable.

I see you said winter tires and not wheels. Could it be the wheel itself is damaged and somehow damaging the tire? Unbalanced, cracked, bent, etc. Somehow stressing one point?

I can't see it being camber or the stretched tire guys would be blowing tires by the truckload. Toe? Unlikely as you'd notice (given driving skill).

That leaves the wheel. Not that I've seen that as a possible cause but it's what's left.
