The manuevering speed on my Warrior is 111 kts which translates to about 128
mph. Theoretically, as long as there's no foreign object damage and the
winds are below that number, it should do fine in a secure tiedown.

Dunno about the logic - that's intended to prevent damage due to turbulence
and may have nothing to do with the strength of the tie-down rings. In any
case, my Maule has gone through one storm with 90 mph winds on tiedown at 47N
and I expect it to get through this one ok (I went out this morning and made
sure it was secure).

Prior to that, I owned a Cessna 150 that made it through two nasty storms on
tiedown. Winds of one of those storms were measured at 120 knots in NYC.

My standard procedure is to run extra tiedown ropes to the wing struts (you
might want to tie off to the gear?). I also make sure that any loose strap ends,
such as those on my covers and the "remove before flight" tag on my pitot cover,
are secured so they won't whip in the wind. Still, there are a lot of planes
at Kupper that didn't take any special precautions and came through those storms
just as well as my planes did.
