There's a lot of generalizations being thrown around... tires do make a big difference, but with "stock" geometry, you'll still only use the outside edges of them in a corner. You still need to improve the geometry to take advantage of the better tires.
Stock vs. DSE = no comparison.
You can, however, modify your stock parts to get close to DSE performance for a LOT less money... Just a simple Guldstrand mod will let you take advantage of the whole tire, and for basically free.
There will still be a difference, but you can close the gap by a considerable amount without spending much.
