I am curious what your definition of "high winds".  Earlier this year
I measured (using a Brunton ADC) wind speeds of 45mph.  The squall did
fine.  I experienced very slight deflection once I pitched the
tarptent a bit lower to the ground than what I normally do.  This was
without using side tieouts. The only problem I had was stakes pulling
up,
