Default Nail in rear tyre - ride or not?

Hey guys

I found a nail in my rear tyre this week. I have a new set which are ready to be fitted anyway.

The pressure has dropped slightly over the week. If I pump back up to the correct pressure will it be safe for me to ride the 8 miles to the garage where I am getting the tyres changed? I plan to ride very carefully.

Cheers

130psi is a dangerously high pressure for your rear tyre.
