Default I am "OLD" enough to make the justification myself.. don't bother what other says.... KID!

I paid for the services and it will be really stupid if I didn't take the advantage for it.

Default have a shop plug the tire.

Assuming the nail created a small diameter hole (less than 1/8th inch) and it went straight in (not sideways), plugging the tire with an inside patch will be fine. The stress placed on the patch is not significant at any speed. The tire will fail before the patch does.
