On the other hand, the stock Badyears are Really Bad Tires. To further stretch the analogy: Even a 'wobbly, out of shape wannabe' will do better with a decent set of performance shoes, instead of stiff, slippery and cheap dress shoes. (Dress shoes: yeah, they look alright, and they cover your feet, but not the best choice for rain, and really inappropriate in the snow.)

Yeah, yeah - I know they are bad, but bear with me here and let me try one more time.
Putting really good, sticky rubber on a stock Cruiser chassis may increase traction, but it can actually exacerbate the body rotation and tipping sensation. Nor will better rubber will do much to tame the skittish sidestepping of the tail in bumpy turns.
I simply think it's best to stabilize the basic platform first. Then one is in a position to maximize the effectiveness of better shoes...
