True or False: It is advisable to avoid placing a strap and winch above a tire.

Placing a strap and winch above a tire is not advisable because it can cause damage to the tire itself or lead to an ineffective securement of the load. When the strap is positioned over a tire, it may create uneven pressure across the tire surface, which could potentially lead to tire wear or even structural failure. Additionally, this placement may not provide a secure enough hold on the cargo, increasing the risk of shifting during transit. Therefore, avoiding this practice contributes to both load integrity and the safety of the vehicle and cargo. Proper securing techniques involve positioning straps in areas that maintain the stability of the load while also considering the integrity of the vehicle's components, like tires.
