Does my insurance company need to be told about all-weather tyres?

What all-weather tyres should I consider and does my insurance company need to be told?

As long as they are the same size as originally fitted to the car they are not regarded as a 'modification'. Michelin Cross Climates are the best, followed by Goodyear Vector 4-Seasons Gen 2, then Nokian Weatherproof, Vredestein Quatrac, Pirelli Scorpion Verde.
