    I can't find a Falken 459 anywhere on the interweb.

    Do you mean Falken FK452?

    Maybe answer these questions first:

    What car?
    What size?
    What do want the tyre to do?
    Driving style?
    What is your current tyre? Are you happy with it?

    Falken FK452 is a good tyre. A few mates with Libertys (3.0RB & 2.0GT) have run them and been happy with the bang for buck.

    Ive had falkens before and also never had trouble with them

    So wat falkens are yours Cupra?
    I know the 459s are the latest for the Falkens....My R32 is running on Yokohamas but now are at the end of there cycle.Iam just hoping the Falken 459s will stack up resonably close to performing$$$$

    Mate, have you had a look at the Kumho KU31 it's hard to beat as far as performance/price I reckon.

    Cheers,

    512's, just replaced them this morning with Toyo T1R. The 512s have been great but are through the wear markers & can't find falkens in stock to replace them other wise I would have gone for 452s
