Recommended tyre for Ford Focus Sports S+?

Hi. The original tyres of my Ford Focus Sports S+ were Conti MC5. I replaced one rear tyre with MC6 four years, so currently 3 are originally fitted MC5 and 1 is MC6. Now, the issue happened last week when I did not realize that one of my rear tyre (the MC6) was flat and I kept driving. The side wall seems damaged, See photos.

The workshop guy came and "repaired" the flat tyre using a patching stick. I asked him whether it is safe to drive. He said for inside city short drives, it should be alright, but for long drives, the tyre will get heated up and the damaged sidewall can become an issue.

So three questions to experts out here
1. Seeing the tyre condition from the photo and your experience, is it safe to continue using this tyre? I drive mostly inside KL - ride duration 1-2 hours at a stretch at max.
2. If recommended to replace, pls suggest which one to choose for 215/50R17? The workshop gave me these options
- Toyo CR1 (410/pc)
- Yokohama AE51 (465/pc)
- Continental MC6 (480/pc)
- Michelin Primacy 4 (600/pc)

and on searching internet, I also saw these two other options
- Yokohama V701
- Continental UC7

3. Shall I change one pair of rear tyres or can just change the one with the sidewall damaged?

I stay in Bandar Sri Damansara and I would prefer not to spend more than rm500/pc (or rm1000/pair). I mostly drive inside KL city.

If I missed anything, pls ask. Thanks!

Auto-click at a preset time (not time interval)

Hi,

Can anyone suggest an android app that can automate clicking at a pre-defined specific time? Eg. I want the auto-clicker to start at a particular time in H:M:S:Ms format, say 2pm:30mins:50secs:20millisecond. Once the clock time hits my preset time, the auto-clicker starts clicking at those specific locations, which I have predefined.

I searched online, but I could only find apps that allow users to define the time interval between the auto-clicks. I am looking for something different.

Would appreciate all the experts here for the help!

RT-PCR Swab Test

Hi,

Can you suggest where I can get an RT-PCR swab test economically & efficiently, say around RM 150/-? I already had to shell out quite a lot for the exorbitantly high-priced International flight tickets, so if can get the test done reliably and cheap, then that would be very helpful.

If there is already a forum topic discussing this same query, please lead me to it. Apologies for re-posting if that's the case.

Thanks
