The "tow rings" are not used for the ocean transport. In fact the SPF chassis have no tires when shipped, they are bolted to steel shipping cradles that allow the chassis to be stacked four to a container.
The "tow rings" are intended for recovery towing and not for tie down. To use them for long periods of time with loads pulling front and rear is asking a lot. It is best to use tire straps, second choice is axle straps to the front and rear control arms with one set of ratchets "crossed" to prevent side walking.
