Flat tire after only 4800 miles V70-XC70 98

ICQ>

Just got back from a week vacation to find my V70T5's XGTv4 left-rear tire flat. I'm having it checked out later to see if it's under Michellins warranty. Assuming I need it replaced, is 4800 miles enough to mean I need to replace the other tire too to avoid misalignment or ride changes?

If for some reason they can't find a leak (some local prankster maybe?), is the tire still safe now that the weight of the car has been sitting on it in a flat position for a few days now?

thanks

pat
