Question:

I have multiple vehicles to tie down with various sized tires up to 30 inches in diameter and up to 12 inches wide. Will this strap work for all or is there another option?

The Erickson Adjustable Wheel Net with E-track Fittings # 77314 are adjustable for use with tires up to 29", so they're going to be just a bit too small for your widest tires. The other thing with these wheel nets is that they are only for use with the Erickson E-Track System Plates similar to # E19135, so if you don't have those installed on your trailer deck, you'd need to get some of those to be able to use those wheel straps.

You may want to consider the ProGrip Adjustable Wheel Net with Ratchet and Snap Hooks # 317-18900 which are designed to fit tires as large as 33" tall and 12-1/2" wide. These provide you with a solution where you would not need to use 2 different sets of straps for different heights and widths of tires.

I've attached a few videos to this answer that show more about the E-Track system as well as the ProGrip wheel nets that you might find informative.
