I have 6x10 Cosmics on my Cox GTM. I use a008 Yokos on them. The car has a nice grip to say. Unfortunatly to much as in fast corners if I accelerate out, the outer rear tyres tend to let the pressure off. First I used 1,8bars, then 2, but still. The car is running 1.5deg negative on the rear. Should I raise this? Or should I raise the pressure? Or use different tyres with stronger walls?

I've rallied on 008's on both 4.5" and 5" alloys and despite really hurling it through tarmac corners have never had a pressure loss (except when I went off!).
Could it be that the wheels are too wide and don't have the right rim shoulder for a 165 section tyre? If I were you I would ring Yokohama Tech Support for advice. By the way, I run 34 psi on Yokos on the Mini.
