Hi Brian,
I've been following the manufacturer's recommendations on this one; the straps are designed to tie the boat to the cradle, although front and rear tie-downs are recommended-- and I always use them on the highway. The movement is coming from the "give" in the cradles, which are flexible.
The boats and I have been thousands of kilometers back and forth to Toronto, as well as down to New England, and I'd rather have the boats and the cradle absorb the wind than have the car pushed a few feet sideways -- unpredictably -- on a thruway.
