If you watch the whole video they explain why on the Mustang. It is the suspension. The car is holding the tires back.
On the FR-Z, this is not the issue and better tires result in much improved grip and lap times:

From last place against a WRX and Speed3 around the track to first, and all they did was change the tires.
Skipad and slalom greatly improved as well and the FR-S easily bested those other cars as well.
