Found a nail in my passenger side rear tire. Its not losing air quickly at all, about 4psi in 3 days. Should I just repair or should I replace that tire all together? Tires are Westlake Super ST205/75R14
This is my first TT and first tire issue so im not sure what common practice is.

**nail is through the tread

If the nail is through the tread it is easy enough for a shop to patch from the inside. A plug will get you to a repair shop but is not intended as a permanent repair. If through the sidewall you are looking at a new tire.
