Patching a rear tire?

So i just put a pair of 208's on my gsxr and of course 2 days after i got the new rubber i get a F*ing nail in the rear. Its a slow leak at 5 psi a day. How reliable is patching? I'm probably gonna get a brand new tire but I wanted to look at my options. The nail is in the shallow part of the tread, its a medium sized finishing nail. any comments?

Patching works great if u do it right. I wouldn't trust plugs. I always patched my tires,why waste new tire if it got just a little hole?!

Depends how you ride. I had the same thing happen to a week old rear tire. I wouldnt trust a patch when you're doing 160!

Plug it. I did 160 on a flat tire once, I didn't know it was flat till I got home but thats probably cuz i runit at 10 psi anyway.
