Probably not. Widening the tread may actually increase rolling resistance unless you opt for radial tires. On old cars, that can raise handling problems if the steering system isn't in top shape. Speed is more the function of rear end gearing than tire size. You might consider installing an overdrive if you do a lot of hiway driving.
