Not by much, but new tires will give more bite (however small may that 
be).

I see many people's mistake is that when someone mentions all-season 
tread, they assume it's usable in snow. Bzzzzt! If the place you will be 
driving through snows, make sure the tire is M+S rated! Even if it's M+S 
rated, it may not be a good performer is snow (or mud).

Tire Rack often advertises that they have steel OEM wheels, although I 
haven't inquired or ordered steel wheels.
