Your guaranteed to get one now.
You should have followed it up with a 'knock on wood'.

Dunno if it helps but....
I used to run a few different products in my tyres of my big bobcat when I used to do demo work. One lot was very dear and put in before wrecking the new tyres and the other was in a little can that was good for little holes. They both worked OK.
The dear stuff would have a few litres of green snotty goo in each tyre and would probably unbalance a quad wheel at pace, so probably not a goer in this app.
The little can you can get from supacheap now. It would seal the little holes and one can would get the 10x16.5 tyres up to about 30psi from nearly flat. As a track-side repair, they might work OK for 11 or 12" quad tyres, provided the bead was more or less intact. For about $10 and very little size, they might offer some "get you there" insurance.........
Err, they're not very attractive when you gotta change tyres... Yuck

Kenda claws only have a 2 ply sidewall and i bet thats where you got punctures,
get a good quality 6 ply tyre and run about 4-5 psi in them and carry tyre plugs for any emergency, dont use tubes you will tear the stem off and dont bother with any emergency tyre repair stuff as most punctures will be in the sidewall any way

i prefer the brown plugs they seem a bit better than the black ones something like this

he's half right they are 6 ply on the tread and 2 ply on the sidewall, where did you get your punctures. they are a good tyre they just don't like rocks much.
