Out of interest, are the Falken's you've got fitted the Azensis FK453CC type? They are rated at 67dB. Reason I ask is there was a tyre test of 10 types in last week's Auto Express. They included the Azensis FK510 type and it came =5th overall (the top 3 were Continental PremiumContact 6 with equal 2nd place Dunlop Sport MAXX RT2 and Michelin Pilot Sport 4) but it came last on cabin noise. It was stated to be 69dB. So suggests if going for the Falken tyre for low noise it is best to go for the FK453CC type. Note the lowest for cabin noise were Avon ZV7 but they finished last place in around 6 or 7 of the tests and last place overall!
Yes they are the FK453CC type.
Excellent. They're on my list for any future change

Am I right in thinking only a 125/90.16 will do as a spacesaver or will a different configuration from say a 3 or 6 work as a spacesaver

The Owner's Manual says "The luggage board can only be used on the lower level on the following vehicles … equipped with a temporary spare tyre T125/90D 16 98M" Other possible sizes for the temporary spare, as listed on page 9-10 of the 2017 manual, are T145/90R16 106M and 185/60R16 86M.

Have said it before I think, but my Golf had Bridgestone Potenzas fitted and were very noisy!
