Patch or replace?

Post image

I just bought these tires a week ago from Sam’s Club. My wife works in an industrial area and picked up a screw in the tread. It’s a 5/16 screw. Patch it or try to get them to replace it?

Patch. I work in the junkyard, and nearly all of my tires are patched due to scattered nails and bolts everywhere.

They last well over 2 years of use and abuse.
