A reasonable suggestion if towing or other activity which taxes the brakes. A mountain pass might tax the brakes, but I don't see that happening for an ecomodder driving conservatively/smartly.

Under normal circumstances I think the covers are perfectly acceptable.

Mind you not all eco-mod's are fine with me. I'm no fan of the grille block after having a near tragic incident with my van 30 years ago. I was just doing the grille block to get some heat on short trips.

My S-10 wheels are much more closed than the ones shown in the first post. I'm sure there are different scales of cooling each design offers, wheels covers just take it to the next level in my opinion.
