Insurers vary in their approach to changing tyre specs. Some will want to know, others aren't bothered. Technically the terms are likely to require you to inform them of any modification which changes the vehicle from the manufacturers original specification. Some will load your premium for changing, others won't.
It's up to you whether you tell them or not in the end. Worst case scenario you have a blow out at high speed and total the car. If the report to the loss adjuster indicates it could have been prevented by RFTs for example, and you didn't tell them about the change, you can bet they will refuse to pay out a penny - they will find every opportunity in the small print to allow them not to pay a claim.
