I would not know the tire pressures, but the "strut" bar allows for less flex in the chassis, so the vehicle's composure stays more predictable, as well as balancing weight shifts from left/right; but not front/rear. Hence, I think classifying changes in handling characteristics as "more oversteer" with the installation of a rear strut bar is not quite the right way of describing it.

If we were talking about anti-roll bars, that is a different issue
