Check in the cargo securement section of the (www.fmcsa.dot.gov) rules-regulations/truck/vehicle/cs-policy.htm in around the 392.0 and up the type of tiedowns even is of issue. These are for a commercial motor carrier and,there are some exemptions for the purpose of hauling antique AGRICULTURAL tractors there are also as mentioned above tiedown strenth requirements the gold chain is considered transport chain 5/16 = 5400lbs and 3/8= 6600 for the G70 or gold chain ONLY and will be rated lower if the binder(boomer)or some other portion of the :ie trailer or hook is not equal to or greater strenth than the chain. There are wheel staps that you might be able to use for the front wheels so you don't have to mar the paint in front. They go over the wheel in the same fashion as if you put a hat on your head with a strap and rachet to take up the slack. Sorry so lenghty but short compared to the dozen pages in the MVcode book. Hope this helps.
