I highly doubt that's the problem here. 120tpi is pretty average for a gravel tire. I put my SKs through hell, zero flats.
Look at the weight, they're paper thin balloons. 320g for a 38-40mm tyre... The 38 GK SKs weigh a 100g more than the 38mm slick GKs. The 38 slicks are 30g lighter than the Extralight Compass Barlow Pass... There are 32mm road tyres that are heavier than the 38 GK slicks. With a weight like that of course they're gonna be fragile, not really a surprise.

Ditto HolliBoni’s comment. And the OP has the GK slicks, which do not throw rocks.
