Most definitely (the tyres), I haven't really changed my car (Imp Super up to Sport/GT spec) since I bought it but the new tyres really made a difference, going from 10yo normal road tyres to Dunlop Formula R (for the road).
The main mods to the car done by the previous owner are a larger cam, electronic ignition, stiffening plate for the bottom of the block, a harness and set of 13" Cosmic alloys. Some other smaller things like Mini fuel pump instead of Imp to make plumbing a bit neater, seat faces retrimmed in fabric instead of vinyl, front grille (heater intake) chromed as per one of the Imp conversions available in the 60's, different gauges in the dash, etc.
This car is for fun, I have another in the shed that is reasonably low mileage original that with a bit of work could be on the road for that - maybe in 20 years at the rate it is going, had it nearly 10yr now & I bet that sounds familiar to some!
