Default ILS with a Tailwind

There are a lot of small controlled airports out there (even some uncontrolled ones) that have an ILS serving only one runway. Let's say the minimums are low (right around 200 and 1/2) but the wind is favoring the opposite runway. To what extent (in terms of tailwind), considering the airplane being flown, would you try to negotiate with tower to push for a straight-in landing to get in, if at all? I am just curious what others out there would do in this situation, since it isn't really an uncommon scenario.
