Wheel Pants...Yes or No
I would like to know if wheel pants add any speed value to a M4. If so, how many kts does the half pants ( I have heard them called panties.) add? Is there any DATA supporting the Maule wheel pants on a M4?

No data that I know of, just anscdotal from owners.
Tyres are the draggiest items on a plane, so any teardrop will lessen drag.
The wheel Spats were originally to fit 6.00x6 tyres as on the early M4, then they were adapted/adjusted for the 7.00x6.
I have since seen them adapted to 8.00 but don't know if they help on that size.
