I've run both and would prefer the consistency and response of the AD09 over RS4.
Worked in a tire shop for 10 years now and hate basically all Bridgestone. You can essentially cut whatever mileage warranty they put on the tire in half. They may ride well but longevity is definitely not something Bridgestone strives for. Michelin on the other hand will usually last the full warranty and if properly taken care of last well beyond that. I've had a lot of good feedback on the cc2 and went to a class based around them and all terrain tires. They performed phenomenal on the wet track we did.
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.
Yokohama Geolandar G015 for the win. Amazing on road manners and fantastic aired down performance with the LT variant
Bridgestone Blizzacks are incredible

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.
I bought a set of CX90 19" wheels for my CX70 to put a set of 255/55/19 Bridgestone Blizzaks snow tires I got from Tire Rack for only $505 shipped!
I have this on my car. It's an OK A to B tire. Definitely not meet my expectation (ie. hard corner turning). I know it's a low road noise-focused tire but still.
My last set of Bridgestone Potenza tires lasted maybe 15k miles, but we’re totally bald on the inside by the 10k mark or less. Very dodgy in the rain to drive.
The exact thing happened to me a few weeks back with those Bridgestones. I've never had a new tire like that malfunction.
