This would explain why the rear wheel covers feel more aero. It’s not just reducing wheel turbulence, separation and pressure and keeping attached air flow, it also reduced the wake size and increases wake pressure in the rear. So double wammy!
Also best height for front tire deflectors are 40mm |

I believe that the Technical University of Munich reported that the Driv Aer CFD model has a 9% deviation built into it, and you'd be cautioned to accept any data results on face value.
