I think it's unlikely. The drivers that try to break trough go there and pay to show that they are good relative to established drivers.

If they get good result on different tires everyone says "meh the tires must be helping them a lot", if they get bad result it's more likely " maybe It's because og the tires". Evans drop from 2017 to 2018 can be used as an example too.
