Actually, its the exact opposite - EZE tow dolly is 'bout the best one there is, all things considered. Original poster made a great choice, as far as the actual dolly is concerned. If we ever go back to dolly towing, it will be with an EZE dolly.
The issue here has little to do with the dolly itself, and is a common problem with all dollies - getting the tow straps on the tires correctly.
We used to have similar problems when we towed with a dolly. One thing I learned from these forums that helps, is the following:
When you pull the car onto the dolly, all the instructions tell you to pull it all the way up until front tires touch the 'stops'/ratchet at the front. Don't do that, instead, stop about 1" before it. Then, when you tighten down the straps, it will 'pull' the car forward into the stop, making the straps much more tight both front and back. When we started doing that, the wheels stayed in the straps much better.
This is a common 'trick' discussed on here quite a bit, that definitely helps. I'm surprised none of the dolly companies haven't caught onto such, and updated their instructions. IMO its a much better way to strap a vehicle onto a dolly.
