Bad Tire - Tires & Tubes

I have to say I am disappointed with this purchase. When I received the tire it looked good so I decided to mount it on my gravel bike. I test drove it and couldn't find any problems. So I wanted to drive to work the next day, but I realized that there was not enough air in the tire. I figured it might not be a good fit on the rim so I blew it off and put it back on with compressed air. After work I came back to check the tire and it was low again. I knew something was wrong so I took some soapy water and wet the tire while it was inflated. As soon as I looked closely, I saw that at least one palm was full of pinholes that were blistering. All are located on the sidewall of the tire and in different places in a random order. I'm not sure what to do at this point because a tire is useless if I don't want to fill it with air all the time. I'm not sure how the store can defuse this situation other than giving feedback to the tire company. However, please note that your product is defective.
