I've run both and would prefer the consistency and response of the AD09 over RS4.
AD09 was a fair bit faster and clearly had more outright grip. They were much less communicative and harder to drive and keep at the limit. I found they can be overdriven and may overheat more easily too. Grip levels were great though - they were even faster than my AR1s. The main issue is wear. They just don't last very long.
Dude, I have had these on my 2019 4Runner and put about 40k miles on them. Drove all over and in all conditions. I drove in the snow storm that kicked Indianapolis into -17 degree weather last January and put like 6” of snow in Northern Alabama. When I was driving south on I65 just entering the north side of Bowling Green, the snow was coming down the size of golf balls. I never even put the 4Runner in 4wd, keep it in normal drive, had about 4” of snow on the highway all the way to exit 1 outside of Nashville to get in Alabama and the roads were NOT plowed, the speedometer never went below 65-70 the whole way. I NEVER lost traction with my 285/70r17 Ridge Grapplers. Never slipped, slid, nothing.
These are quieter on the road, but that could be the more luxury cab interior. I don't feel or hear vibrations like I always did in my brother's 4x4s back in the day. They seem like a decent overall tire. They handled mud okay, and don't track up the grass on my properties, and did okay on some snow and ice recently.
I have Nitto Nomad Grapplers (similar to Falken Wildpeak) on my 2017 FXT Touring, and have Michelin CC on my wife’s Lexus RX, and given your situation I’d say the Michelin CC would do the trick and be a more comfortable drive with better MPG.
Yokohama Geolandar G015 for the win. Amazing on road manners and fantastic aired down performance with the LT variant
I recommend using Yokohama ES32. Cheaper than Dunlop. Previously I'm a fan Yokohama Tyres.. Been using their midrange C.drive AC01 and C.drive2 AC02.. Give me confidence in wet weathers.
Ok..1400milies on them now almost all highway but maybe 100city so far. They are fine. Not as quiet as I thought they'd be...but maybe my drive to Tulsa isn't a good gauge.
I use Yokohama Avid Ascend LXs for my Gen 2 Prius as well. I go through a set every 10,000 miles or so.
I bought new Yokohama Avid Ascend LX BW 185/65HR15's in May of 2021. My mileage at the time was 209,674. My mileage is now 241,241 and one of my tires is bald and needs replacing. And the others ares are bald but getting low while one is still pretty good.
