The over the tire is safe. I've seen it a million times on the road. I just don't like it. For me it's really two reasons. The first I already mentioned. I like to secure the car from being able to move side to side. Those don't actually allow it to move side to side, but they don't appear to be able to stop it by looking at them. The second and bigger reason is the attachment points. I have e-trac all over my trailer to secure things. I wouldn't trust it to hold my cars though. The extra d-rings I installed, like my factory ones, are bolted though the floor with a steel backing plate. They give me the "warm and fuzzy" when I'm trailering and I feel like I don't have to worry about anything moving.
