They were Pirelli P4's. Haven't looked into whether or not the tire had
"history" of problems, but may do that. Any thoughts?

When we bought our Series IV a few years back, it also had the same Pirelli
tires. They looked to be in perfect shape, had always been inside, etc.
After we would go for a drive and park it in the garage, a tire would be
flat for no apparent reason. After the third tire went flat we replaced
them all. Fortunately for us it always happened in the garage. Perhaps
there is a "history" of problems with them.
