I use the strap setup in the first photo to hold cars (including A7s) down on a trailer. In the case of an A7 I pull the ratchets tight, but there's no need really swing on the ratchet lever with such a light car; there's never been any wheel damage as a result.
But really it's not for everyday towing that you may need the car to be comprehensively secured; but if you have some kind of happening like a mate whose (2 wheel) trailer chucked a wheel at speed, resulting in the trailer being down a ditch at a near 45 degree angle that having the car well tied down really matters. This secondhand drama is the reason I got a four wheel trailer for car transporting.
