BMW 120d Tyre Review Highlights
I’ve been running the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric tyres for about ~15,500 mi (~25,000 km), mostly on highways. Overall, they still perform very well — grip is strong, and they remain predictable in most conditions. Only recently have I started noticing some limits: in sharp, high-speed cornering and during hard acceleration, the car tends to lose traction a bit more than before.
Noise and comfort are phenomenal, easily among the best I’ve experienced. As for wet performance, I haven’t had the chance to properly test them this year due to the lack of rain, but last year they were also outstanding in wet conditions.
The tread depth is currently around 2.5 mm, so I'm expecting them to last another ~6000 mi (~10,000 km) or so. For the mileage covered, I’m impressed with how well they’ve held up. Solid performance, great durability, and still plenty of confidence in everyday driving.

In the begining, whille they were brand new, they seemed nice, comfy and durable. After 4 years and 55000km, all of a sudden, they started to sound just like i was in an aircraft. I had a better look, and although they don't look bad, they are old between the canals

I live in the Baltic state. And we have snowy and icy winters. If you drive carefully, the tyres are very good for and RWD car and you don’t get stuck on snow or ice. Sometimes they feel a little soft and you have to correct your driving direction on the motorways. But not a big issue. They are nordic winter tyres after all.
Would recommend, especially for a rear wheel drive cars in countries with lots of snow and ice. And the wear of the tyre is normal.

When I got my BMW 1 series M Sport I had run flats on it and they are honestly the worst tyres I have ever had. The ride comfort was awful and so was everything else. That all changed when I replaced them with Falkens all round which were decent but after they wore out I decided to go for the GoodYear AS3s which have been awesome from day 1 in the wet and dry. I ran them for 18,000 miles and have just changed to the new Goodyear's AS5s and wow they are just fantastic, ride comfort is great, the grip is something else in both wet and dry to which you feel confident driving a little quicker without fear of losing grip. Fantastic tyres.

Best sporty winter tyre in "regular car" tyre sizes.
Performs well all round, and allows for sporty driving by having good progressive slip near the limit. Be sensible on the public road, but know that this tyre will not pull any surprises.

I have used these run flats on the front of my bmw 120d for about a year and have just bought 2 more for the rear which says it all really. These replaced bridgestones which I have used for about 7 years and were indistinguishable in usage. After about 8k miles the fronts are down to 5.5-6mm which I am quite happy with.

These replaced 4 worn Potenzas and immediately felt a little softer and noticeably quieter. They're not sports tyres, but, as others have said, 99% of the time that's not relevant. So, generally they're OK, but as winter has set in, they feel skittish as the temperatures have become nearer zero. In today's snow they were quite troubling. I just handed back a courtesy car with Potenzas on and they felt better than the Drive Guards in the icy slush. Admittedly both are summer tyres, but the winter handling would deter me from buying again, albeit I probably saved around £20 a tyre.

Switched out the Bridgestone S001 RFTs on my BMW 120d for these DriveGuard tyres on the front (not available for the back - 35 profile). Wow, what a difference. The S001's were made of concrete. These are quieter and absorb the imperfections in the road so much better. So much more comfortable.
As a side note, I put a pair of Good Year F1 Asym 2 RFT on the back a little while after, and these are far more comfortable than the S001s too.
The only downside to these tyres is that they are touring tyres, not high performance tyres. To be honest, you can't really tell unless you have driven both though. Yes, the S001s respond slightly faster, but I wouldn't say they were any more grippy. So for the 1% of the time you get a windy B road with no traffic on it, i'd go with the S001s. But for the other 99% of the time the DriveGuards are answer if you are sticking with a RFT. You honestly won't notice unless you are driving this on a track.
