That will depend on the profile of the new tyre. Different tyres have diffeent profiles so if you've put on tyres with a sharper profile then yes it will tip in more quickly.

Will be smoother as there's no "step" on either side of the tyre (yet) so the progression from being completely upright to leaning will be smooth, hence why new tyres always feel so wonderful. As for quiteness I'd guess that with them not being squared off there's less of a contact patch on the road when bolt upright. Also different tread patterns and tyre wall stiffness will create more or less noise.
What tyres have you put on anyway?
