Continental GP4000S 700x28cc side slashers

This is the second time it happens to me this season.
I go for a ride, has to ride on the shoulder of the road on heavy traffic roads for couple of kms with some gravel rocks on the shoulder and the first time my front tire was slashed on the side of the rolling band. Didn’t notice it and the tire blew out when I pumped it to 110 PSI and saw that after I inspected the tire.

now it happened Sunday on the road my rear tire blew out and had to repair it and squeeze a Lezyne boot temporarily to get back home.

never ever had that problem with 25cc and I have been riding those for decades.

is it the 28cc that makes the lateral part of the tire prone to that?
