Why tuneRF does not have a good result for ctree in R

I tried to use tuneRF for selecting the minimal OOB value for best mtry value in ctree model. However, if I use the right value I get worse results than just increasing the mtry value.
Here is my code:



library(party)
dat1 <- fread('https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/abalone/abalone.data',stringsAsFactors=T)

## split data to train and test
set.seed(123)
dat1 <- subset(dat1, !is.na(V1))
smp_size<-100
train_ind <- sample(seq_len(nrow(dat1)), size = smp_size)
train <- dat1[train_ind, ]
test <- dat1[-train_ind, ]

ct <- ctree(V1 ~ ., data = train)

test$CTVAL<- predict(ct, test[,V2:V9])
> mean (test$V1==test$CTVAL)
0.5020849


Now I run tuneRF:



> bestmtry <- tuneRF(train[, V2:V9], train$V1, stepFactor = 1.5, improve = 1e-5, ntree = 500)
mtry = 2 OOB error = 47%
Searching left ...
Searching right ...
mtry = 3 OOB error = 52%
-0.106383 1e-05


It recommends mtry =2.
Running same model with mtry = 2 (replace the line ct<-...):



ct <- ctree(V1 ~ ., data = train,controls = ctree_control(mtry = 2 ))


> mean (test$V1==test$CTVAL)
0.4841795


And using the same model with mtry = 10:



 ct <- ctree(V1 ~ ., data = train,controls = ctree_control(mtry = 10 ))


> mean (test$V1==test$CTVAL)
0.5109149

    Auto-tuning is often times nice, but you have to keep in my mind that is is just a quick and dirty step that can be very off sometimes (for ex. if you have junk data or a lot of noise), in that case you have to adjust it manually.
