Talking Aerodynamic Effects of Tip Tanks

Hello,

I was wondering what the aerodynamic effects of tip tanks would be? Tip tanks being the wing tip mounted tanks that you would see on a plane like the Lear45.

My hypothesis is that tip tanks would not have much effect at low speed and would have negligible lift effect at any speed and high drag effects at high speeds.

What are your thoughts?
