I use them from about 25 - 75mm in length. Smaller tufts have better resolution eg you can pick the size of a separation bubble behind the A pillar much better with smaller rather than larger tufts. But of course smaller tufts take a lot more time to apply. The Skoda ones are the smallest I think I've seen used professionally.

Nice to see tufts making a return in media release pics - they show airflow much better than smoke, I think.
