It was always my assumption that

Tire+Rim/Wheel drag was RR + Aero drag

Tires have a compound effect where going from a small tire to larger tires may have lower RR but the dynamic drag and suspended weight might exceed RR gains.

If the article is saying RR + Aero resistance is 50% on 4 tires that may be accurate at higher speeds depending on the body design
