I think with that new of tire, it was likely a damage issue. If it was just a typical no name China bomb, possible failure? Carlisle has been building a reputation, using their newer design.
I agree on replacing with another Carlisle, unless tire shop can say tire failure due to manufacturing quality issue. There are many STs on the road, and IMO, they get a bad rap, when most tires get hot and fail, due to rapid air loss (road damage), or under inflated to begin with.
Thanks for posting your bad experience, and supplying pictures. Glad you did not have further damage!
