"The exhaust is deflected down by the vortex around the diffuser footplate. I enhances that vortex, which straightens the tyre squirt vortex"

But, where is does the actual flow from the tire squirt end up being routed?

The tyre squirt flow is deflected as such: the lower part of the wheel's, when looked form above, it's narrower. It gets straightened by the footplate ortex in the sense that it has a smaller transversal component, it's narrower, more aligned with the longitudinal axis of the car

Hold on a minute.
Before we get into any more discussion.

What is tyre squirt ?

That needs to be clarified definitely. It can easily become part of the techno bable vocabulary without proper explanation.
Images also would help.

The tyre has some effects of course, but tyre squirt can be any of those.
For Sure!!

This is a good remark.
Tyre squirt (also called sometimes tyre squish, a la air scoop- air scope) refers to the tow vortices that develop from the side wall of the tyre near the contact patch. They form the lowest part of the wheel wake.

In other words it gets integrated into the main vortex?

It des not get integrated, into the main vortex, it is mre like it gets pushed aside by it.
