Question Small nail in tire, plug or inside patch?

Since the temperature have been dropping and I don't drive the car daily the PSI of the tires has been dropping at around 5PSI.

However there is one rear tire that drops 10PSI. My first tought was that the tire caught a nail during a trip to W. Virgina but I could not located. Today after a close inspection I found that is a litte tiny nail in the rear tire in between (channel) the beefy grip part of the tire.

Now, I can do the plug myself.

However with a patch they have to disassemble the tire and not a lot of shops around here have the equipment for 19" tires, plus I don't want then to damage the OEM rim and go thru all the troubles.

So the question is by you guys experience, would you guys recommend a plug or an inside patch?

Thanks!
