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.
But the GT ones are by far and away the very best I've had. They're very quiet, have a low rolling resistance, so great for EVs, and the handling in snow is incredible! It's almost like there is no snow even when riding on it.
Yokohama Geolandar G015 for the win. Amazing on road manners and fantastic aired down performance with the LT variant
I also have a Corolla, had some General Altimax 365AWs put on at Walmart for around 120 a tire and they have held up very well in the Massachusetts snow.
i have general altimax rt45s on my nissan sentra, and i live in a state that gets decent snow and have never had a problem
I like the general altimax artic 12 personally. They outperform the blizzaks I had before them and are very decently priced.
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’ve used both Yoko Geolanders and Nokian Outpost APT on my 2020 & 2022 OBXT and Nokians are better in rain & snow, and less weight.
They were absolutely terrible on dry packed snow during a surprise squall I got stuck driving in. Not very surprising as that’s really the worst case scenario for all-weather tires—the snow fills the tread and stays there. Otherwise they have been fine, although the seem to be disintegrating in a weird way. They only have 16k miles but bits of tread are chipping off, rather than the tire wearing down.
