Two things:
first ,as spartak said, the had a better traction. The Williams drove at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and it is said that the car had a fantastic grip and acceleration on the track.
second, lower air resistance. Tyrell realised that the front tyres are most responsible for the air resistance so they made the wheels smaller and added a second pair of wheels.
