Nail in 'shoulder' of tire, slow leak

I have a 4 wheel drive jeep with a tire that has a nail in shoulder with slow leak and is not repairable according to tires plus. They said putting a patch in that location would come off as soon as it is driven.

But they are not recommending 1 new tire but 2 due to it being 4 wheel drive and saying new tread and 50% wear old tread would cause transmission problems on same axel.

I am thinking of putting on an old same size tire with approximately same treadwear that is cheaper.

What would you do?
