In the UK tow companies tend to use a ratchet strap that splits over the tyre like an upturned hammock, and only holds the wheels. Seems to work well. Also I seem to remember years ago about warnings not to tow in reverse. Does anyone recall?

Phil, I recall the same but can't find a post to substantiate.  Besides the latch concerns Rocky mentions, I THOUGHT somebody's rear (or possibly) front glass blew out while towing b/c the seal is not designed to withstand much pressure in a 'reversed' direction.

Might be a myth/hogwash but I won't tow my car backwards, at least not at highway speeds!
