Default Tyre puncture repair or replace on winter tyre

Hi All,

I've picked up a nail in the tyre (which has done about 2000 miles) so fairly new. Its caused a slow puncture ~ 10 days to go from 38 psi to 20 psi. With my local tyre centre closed today I thought I'd ask here first about repair vs replace.

My inclination is to replace the tyre from a safety point of view, but before I shell out upwards of £160 I'd like to know about tyre repair (is this temporary or can you consider it a fixed tyre?) Any tyre folk on here to advise?

Also just for comparison - the space saver is much smaller than the tyres its replacing - I'm assuming this is why there is the speed restriction on them but it just looks way to small IMHO.
