Hmm. So you haven't even ridden enough to wear out a set of tires yet? I would say wait until you actually wear something out on your current bike before upgrading. Buy yourself a new jersey or some gloves. As for better hubs, I doubt you will notice any performance difference. At your current weight, it only makes sense to upgrade wheels if your current wheels are giving you trouble.
