I had a 700x35 Panaracer Gravelking SK do the exact same thing, only I was doing about 20mph and my hoop ended up costing me about $90 to replace. Panaracer replaced the tire no questions asked, and I never even thought to bother them about the rim-- these are the costs of cycling. Lost a 700x35 Hutchinson Overide to a pair of drywall screws just a few months later. These things happen. I've had four tire failures (all different brands, no less) just this year.

I have probably around 1,000 miles on tubeless Gravelkings since-- just because one tire was defective doesn't mean they'll all be. I wouldn't boycott Compass because they initially didn't want to pay for the damaged rim. I wouldn't buy from them in the first place, because an $82 tire is just madness. The tires on my car didn't cost $82 each, and they're 245mm wide and last 30,000 miles.
