Could you b running into the same situation?
I have found that most of my punctures occur at about 60-65 psi on my Marathons (55-95 psi) and if I go over 85 psi so I try to keep it in the middle now at about 75-80 and they seem a lot better. I would say if your tyres are rated 115 psi like my Gators then run them at 20-25% off or 85-90 psi.
