I think wider/stickier tires will help increase steering effort. Comparatively, when I switch from wide, sticky summer tires to skinny snows with my MR2 (manual steering with Quaife quick ratio rack), the steering effort decreases drastically. Almost to the point that I wish my car had stock tires on it again, but then I remember that I'm not a sissy.
