Short of installing skirts, I'm unsure how one could have a better outcome!  |
Strangely enough, most modern ‘high performance’ tires have an aero lip which appears to be designed to deflect air away from the wheel. At this point, the lip-which is roughly shaped like a breaking wave from the ocean side-is probably doing more harm than good but I’m hesitant to try to lathe it off. When I get everything finished I will fully tuft the side of the car and record without covers, with just the front and then with both. I also just ordered some epoxy coated stainless steel ‘zip ties’ as well as a ratcheting installer tool.
