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.
Out of all the ones you have listed, I would take the Nexens without a second thought... Great tires, very underrated, and arguably the best warranty in the industry including a 2 year road hazard warranty from the manufacturer.
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.
the Nexen is a grand touring tire that emphasizes driveability but sacrifices a little mpg to do it.
I replaced my OEM Falkein ZIEX tires at exactly 21k miles with some Yokohama Geolandar X-CV's. The new GX's seem to ride fine on them so for my experience with 400 miles on the Geolandars, they have improved ride quality and lowered perceived road noise.
Those came on my truck when I bought it new. Very average tire that's not good for any nasty stuff.
Can't tell for EV, but my nexens on kodiaq lasted like 20k and already fronts were down to 3mm.
That Yokohama tire also has lousy reviews in snow too.
