The higher roll bars are faster and help even tire wear sometimes. But they do make the car looser and eat more tires while bump drafting through the turns. The lower settings allow for a tighter feel in the turns n they don't chew up the rears as much but the wear is uneven. So its a little give n take. Low numbers provide more stability in the car in general which induces understeer but in return helps with handling on horribly worn tires compared to the higher numbers.
So with higher settings the car is looser n faster but eats more tires thean a low setting. And with a low setting the is stiffer n provides better tire wear. Higher numbers are better for qualifying n require a little more throttle control or finesse, it it induces oversteer for faster cornering. The low numbers have a tigher uncomfortable feeling from the induced understeer n the car really doesn't set in till the tires have a hair of wear. Overall stiffer is better for tire wear in the end of a stint. This at least works for me with a controller n I know this works for other drivers with wheels as well.
Since the two require different driving tastes the general consensus is to go with a mid to high setting. I favor a low setting for tire wear. So this topic becomes debateable because to most drivers its a preference of the cars handling for that setting. This is also track dependent to. Sometimes only based on the feel of the car as well. So many factors have gone into deciding these settings. Since the thread is the oval tunery n I aim for good tire wear I tend to post low anti-roll bar settings.
