Different tires and their wear condition can also significantly impact braking ability.
I'm guessing the improvement is only during high speed braking then, in situations where the rotor is rotating too fast for the calipers and pads to stop it completely. Once the calipers and pads are able to stop the rotor, it is up to the tires to stop the car.
