Are Winter tyres considered a modification?

I did say "almost". And I doubt those all-seasons are OEM fit for the UK market on anything.

Really? I'm very surprised. Proper "all seasons" are almost unknown in the UK. Virtually every tyre on sale here is what, to more enlightened nations, would be "summer tyres".

What tyres (and car) are they?

Chrysler 300C Goodyear Eagle RS-A

The wet performance is nothing to write home about though.

Interesting - and that's a UK market car? The fact it's American mitigates my surprise - A/S are common over there.

Goodyear's UK site doesn't list the Eagle RS/A at all, though. Chrysler's site says "Goodyear" as standard, but doesn't say what. The only tyre Goodyear UK list in the current standard 300C size of 245/45 20 is the Eagle F1 summer, no all-seasons or winters available.

It's the old model and, after talking to other owners, it only seems to have been standard fit on the SRT trim.

I've probably driven around 2000 miles on snow with them bot here and abroad, including the Pyrenees in winter.

Once I'd cleared the snow I drove 100 miles home in these conditions...
