On dry, firm roads, pretty much nothing.

Treads are there to deal with water and soft surfaces.

Modern treads are also designed to help avoid hydroplaning on very wet roadway, without treads a car would very easily hydroplane (completely losing contact with the roadway when there is even just a little water over the roadway, causing the car to 'float' with no traction whatsoever).

Do treaded tires offer better braking in aircraft?

The more surface area of the tyre that is in contact with the road, the more friction (stopping power) you generate. the reason you have treads on tyres is so water/dirt/snow can flow into the tread gaps. without treads, the water would have nowhere to go and the tyre would never actually touch the ground (hydroplaning). To answer your question, adding treads offers little benefit in dry conditions, only when it is wet/snowy/dusty on the runway.

Can you put ordinary tires on your mini - not run flat?

You are able to switch to conventional tyres if you currently are equipped with Run-Flat tyres even if you have a mini cooper. The only thing that i would inform you of is that if you change to conventional (Normal Tyres) then you would need to change all the tyres that are on the same axle to make sure that the vehicle will not pull to one side when driving. Other factors that will be effected due to not changing both tyres to conventional tyres on the same axle will include; The braking distance of the vehicle and the drive off the car. These are very important things that you need to keep in mind when changing from Run-Flat to conventional tyres.
