Default slow leak

I picked up a screw right in the center of my rear tire. It's a tubless tire for the people with tubless tire do you patch them or buy a new tire? It's a 180 55 18.

I change my own tires so I would just pop a new one on but if I had good rubber left I wouldn't be afraid to patch it and ride.

I'd patch it too. Never had a problem with a patch.
