I've always heard never to use them for anything...just as tie downs...but maybe if you were easy?

Right. Used for shipping as far as I know. But they do seem strong enough to support the car being loaded on the ramp/towtruck. Guess I'm used to it.

If it explodes (say rear end goes) what are the tow points?
