Thanks for the info TLC . Just assumed the sidewall would be more reinforced as well, if I think about this having a heavier tire (6ply) would cause more stress on the sidewall verses a 4 ply or 2 ply because you have more a weak spot between the rim and the 6 ply area
I felt I needed to inform the place where I bought them and hopefully the tire company will also look into their product and hopefully improve if this happens enough times, maybe I got unlucky, maybe its a design flaw. I think by just plugging the tire and not notifying anyone doesn't help us the customer out or the manufacturer.
The cost of getting another tire isn't that bad, the company or manufacturer really stepped up to the plate.

If you don't get too far with the maker I'd try to plug it. I had a Carlisle 489 that had 3 plugs in it and it held air for about 1000 miles before I replaced them with the XTRs I have now. I did put a LOT of glue on them. I wouldn't ever do this with a high pressure tire. But, where quad tires are about 7 lbs. max. pressure I wouldn't worry about it.
