I've been using the Supercar 3 for a while. I like the way they feel and I get reasonably good use out of them. Recently I've been reading about the AD09, which also seems to be a good tire. However, I've been unable to find anything comparing the two. Does anybody have any experience with the two?

Two things in favor of the AD09 are TireRack seems to have them in stock while SC 3s are often back ordered and the AD09 is available in the 255 size.

A possible negative is the 255 is about $120 more than the 245!

OTOH, in favor of the SC3, the 305 is much easier to get than the 295 and is about $75 cheaper. The 305 AD09 is about $25 more expensive than the 295.

A set of stock size AD09s is $1479 while the SC3 is $1512 which is not worth worrying about.
