Great time to buy a spare wheel and a tube to make that a spare tire setup in case you ever have a problem.
And with a tube, next leak requires a breakdown of the tire.
I would probably try a plug type tire patch first
Black Jack Tire Repair Patch Plug Comb. 1/4" stem 1 7/8" patch (pkg/4) BJCU26-4 | eBay
Inner tubes don't always work well on low pressure ATV tires.
The tires are so low pressure they can slip on the rim and pull the valve stem. Only 4-5 PSI in my ATV tires. (may work if you keep the pressure up a bit higher)
That is what I would do first.Most of the hole will close up when the spike is pulled, if it was me, I'd clean the puncture and put in a plug. Cut the plug off flush with the inside and put a round patch over that. That will give a separate air seal from the plug, which is primarily to keep water away from the inner tire structure. Get a can of Rema cement and some patches and you should be good to go, and prepared for the next time.
