Other. It depends. If you are riding on clean smooth roads then run it out. I would replace only if had a big event ride soon or would be riding where failure could be dangerous. I have ran tires down to cords plenty of times, some in multiple places. I have never put a patch on the inside. Self stick patches are a temporary solution and I doubt it is doing much for you.

I move tires like that from my sport/rando bike to my commuter. Booted or patched on the inside, monitored regularly, should last a good while. No way would I take that out on a ride with terrain, speed, or long distance.
That's the influence of my mom, a depression era child. If I'm in a mood, I might pitch it like a normal person would.

My wife has asked me to replace tires for less that that. I’m not one to argue over new tires.
