It is in my wifes Jeep. Its an 05 Grand, and never goes off road. It has a slow leak as a result of the nail. I can see the nail right in the tire. Any thoughts on my options? Will a plug to the trick? I hate to buy a whole new tire. Thanks for any advice.

if it isn't on the sidewall, plug it.

Most tire shops/service stations will plug it for $10. Just drive up and tell them you need your tire plugged.
You can do it yourself, but I wouldn't if you don't know what you're doing.

the correct answer would be to patch it from the inside, but a plug will work, its not hard, and you should learn anyway

Frist we need to know what type of nail it is..
Roofing Nails will require a 4hT Patch not too expensive but must be applied inbetween tire ply's
If it was a finish nail, oh my god... You need to Hoozy Plug it, not cheap at all, but should last a couple centuries! wait if it is a 3/4 Penny nail, that will need the Hoozy~what plug, same as the hoozy plug but is grey instead of blue.
Now if it is a finger nail... stop running over peoples hands! That will require the Middle fingure plug, it is long and narrow with two lumps on the side, can't missit!
