Bigger wheels with low profile tyres would be much better, they would also
be smaller in overall diameter than the current tyres.

According to a Bridgestone technical bod interview I read some time
ago, the main reason they don't use low profile tyres is because the
wheel size is mandated by regulations, and that's basically it! He
said that low profiles would give better change of direction but even
with the high profiles they have to use, they can get good
performance.

Softer springs?

I'm sure they could improve on a piece of variable strength undamped
rubber!

at the top of that. It is an interesting object of speculation to think
about what a modern-day single-seater chassis, suspension and wheels/tyres
could be like, if aerodynamic downforce could be severely restricted.
