Default brand new tire already got a nail

I have 2016 CLS550.
The car comes with run flats; Pirelli P-Zero
I recently replaced my two rear tires with the same model Pirelli P-Zero.
I had them replaced at the Mercedes dealership.
Unfortunately I think I may have a nail in one of the rear tires because the pressure sensor indicated a significant drop in pressure.
(Please note, I am not 100% sure it is a nail puncture; my self inspection of the tire did not reveal a nail but maybe im not seeing it)


Does anyone know if the Pirelli road hazard warranty can be redeemed for a nail puncture?
Does anyone have any experience with this? In particular, experience with buying new tires then a few weeks later getting a nail in the tire?

Any advice or suggestion is welcomed.

Hello - depending on where you bought the tire and how long it's been, the shop may honor a warranty of sorts and replace it for you. Something very similar happened to me, luckily I bought the tire shop's warranty and the new tire was free of charge. Check with your source. Please let us know if you have any other questions or if we can assist with any future part needs.
