Just did this on my 24 Ft Trailer. Used E track and made to measure straps from Macs Tiedowns. Used Grade 8 bolts and large washers with nylon nuts underneath. Tracks were placed for 59 inch front and rear track and minimum 108 inch wheelbase.

They make backing plates for the e track. I would not think bolts with washers would be safe through plywood alone. Backing plates and bolting through crossmembers would be best.

I would want backing plates also and nylock nuts WILL work loose. After I had a couple nylock nuts work loose from vibration on a trailer, I now only use all steel crimped locking nuts.
I bought a new 6x10 enclosed trailer to haul my Harley and had to place the rings in the floor and cut backing plates for them ..LOL The Harley and trolley might weigh 1,000 lbs, but under severe braking or a collision, it isn't going to rip loose from the floor.

I used e-track in my Harley trailer and made 4"X4" backing plates cut from flat bar fore and aft of the the wheels. I'm kicking around the idea to purchase another trailer and will go the same route.

I always add e-track to my enclosed trailers. The flexibility for moving tie down points is great - especially when hauling ATVs. However, for bigger cars it’s kind of a PITA to fit yourself between the wall of the trailer & the car to install the anchors. Anybody else find that to be an issue?

I don't trust that single strap setup but I am usually hauling drag cars with skinny front runner tires. I just had a buddy hauling a car on a dolly that had a single strap come off on one side. I have straps that form a basket that go on each side of the tire with a strap over the top of the tire to tie it together. It is adjustable for tire size. Never have had it come loose.
