Better tires also will help. I went to to the Schwalbe Allmotion 2.15" front and love them. but the main reason is i wanted tubeless. tubeless also worked on the stock wheels. so my real reason for upgrade was the wider ID.
the new wheels also were a bit lighter, but it wasn't significant and could have been the hubs I used.
If you stay with the same or similar ID, nothing really will improve.
When you say better did you mean more plush or rolling better?
I am looking for the wheels to be a bit lighter and the tires to roll better on the road.. Though have some traction in dirt/gravel
