The way I look at tire vs spring is that tires are usually a more radical change and springs/shock position is more fine tuning. If I need a large change in handling I look to tires but if I'm close I look at setup. Also I try to take in account what other people are running and if I am running those tires already I would be more inclined to think it was my setup.
I do tend to be something of a follower when it comes to tires... if I'm on the same tires as the guys on top of the results, I tend to look at chassis... if I'm on different tires and a bunch of people are going faster than me, I'll try the tires the majority of them are using...

Not the most scientific method.
