Ever notice no one has a problem....until they do? I use 4 straps not crossed, all have safety style hooks fronts don't have ratchets only the back.
I have seen someone open the trailer door to find their car against one wall because 1 strap failed. OP is correct about the rough roads and the car bouncing. Slicks have a lot of give so for insurance I'll pump my tires up a little high before loading. If going any distance I'll stop and check my straps and tighten the ratchets. I used the D part of weld on D rings and welded them onto the car to tie down with.
