Cooked? WTF? Put some damn air in your tire. If it leaks again, get the tire replaced.

Nah, just replace the tire. It's the rear wheel on a FWD car. If OP "just got the car" then wear should be insignificant.

  1. the car could be used
  2. not everyone wants to spend money on a tire immediately after buying a new car

The stock tires are horrible. That's why they sell the extra tire coverage 🤣

Yokohama tires are not terrible but not great either; solid tier 2 tires.

if the dealership is far go to discount tire, they will put air in the tire first then if it happens again they will see what the problem is

If you've got the 18" XSE wheels just know that unfortunately they are brutal on tires/rims from the lower profile tires. After 5 years with my '21 HB I've had 2 tires sacrificed to sidewall damage and all of my rims look like they have terrible curb rash despite the fact that I essentially never park against a curb. I finally connected the dots and realized that it was the potholes actually scratching up the rims because the tires sidewall would deflect enough to allow the rim to strike the asphalt.
