The tire was flat. The car is driven very little and there were no nails or cause for the flat according to technician. The tire was simply damaged. We called the dealer and were only told that tire could not be ordered because there's a reported issue with the tires for our vehicle. Car is less than a year old and low mileage. Vehicle was stationary for 4 days when we noticed.
