With regard to tyre performance, the progression characteristics of traction are just as important as outright traction levels.
In my experience, poorer quality "performance" tyres, oem runflats included, can provide decent traction, but as you approach the traction limit the fall off is quite dramatic and with little sign or notice i.e, through steering feel, noise etc. This can be a big problem.
For me, moving from the oem runflats to mpss was quite dramatic in effect. On the road, i dont push the car hard enough to exceed the traction limits of the michelins, but i can certainly feel the onset much more clearly and adjust through the corner as needed.
I would certainly agree that tyre upgrades should come before suspension work. In addition, its easier to set your spring/shocks based on your tyres rather than the other way around.
