Blown Tire
Hit a pothole yesterday and blew out the right front tire (Pirelli PZero Run Flat). I bought the car 15 months ago from a dealer and tires were new. They have around 6000 miles on them. Two questions: 1) It looks like the tire is out of warranty so I am out of luck with regard to Pirelli helping me out. Right? 2) If there is no more than 3/32" difference in tread depth for the front tires can I just replace the one or should I replace both front tires regardless?

If you only replace one tire i'd highly recommend getting it shaved down to match the same tread wear on the other front tire. Even if there is only a slight tread difference you could have some issues with your traction control, and also cause damage to your drive train.
If you are buying more than 1 tire i'd just got ahead and replace the rf's with regular tires.

Can you recommend someone who does shaving?

They suck.
No I did not have warranty when I blew my tire out on highway
My car only has 20k on it and I have replaced 3 for blowout or nail in the tire.
They don't last ride like **** and honestly don't handle at all.
I would replace them asap, just remember tho u have to return the lease with the same tires

You can return a lease with different tires. The only time they will care if if you return them with super discount tires.
I have even returned a lease with my winter tires on. No issues and then sold the summer tires later.
