Goodyear or conti

Have an 07 328xi with runflats and need new tires.
Looking at getting either Goodyear eagle gt or the continental dws
I want all season tires, ones that are good in snow since I live in Pa
Tires size is the base 205/55 r16

Any recommendations

I have the DWS and I love them. They do very well in the snow. I'm sure not as good as dedicated snows but I feel quite secure driving mine in the snow and ice. We had a hell of an ice storm a few days ago and driving on the ice covered streets was much easier than I thought...not much slippage.

DWS are the best all-season tires I have ever had. Great handling performance and probably almost as good in snow as some snow tires. I had to drive in 3 inches of unplowed snow one day -- no problem. I have the 235/45/17 all around.

I also have Continental DW for summer

I see they are back ordered on tire rack.
Why such a hard time finding conti's?
