Are tires still reliable after sitting completely flat for a few days?

Hi all,

I installed a new set of KO2s. But my aftermarket TPMS sensor kit has problem with the new tires, caused air leak and made one tire go completely flat for a day :CWL: until I discovered the situation and pumped air in it (didn't drive when flat). It's been another day and the tire seems to be holding up air fine. But generally speaking, are offroad tires like KO2 still reliable for long highway driving after sitting flat (with the entire Jeep's weight) for a few days? Any potential damage to sidewall/bead? (I know we'd air them down before offroading, down to say 10psi on regular basis is fine, but sitting flat with truck's weight at 0psi can be very different from offroading at 10psi?)

Thanks!
