Default Anyone use those plastic colored floor squares?

Anyone use those plastic colored (like white and black) floor tiles in their garage?
I see that Sam's Club has some, but only in black or grey.
I went online for Sam's Club, and they also show red, but no white.
I'm sure they (the company) would make white, but I can't seem to find the maker (and, of coarse, I didn't get the name of the product when I was at Sam's Club-I'll have to go back).
My questions are:
How well do they hold up (driving over them all the time)?
If your shoes are wet, is it easy to slip and fall?
Also, do they slide around, when you drive onto them?
Any brands that you like better?
Sorry for all the questions, but I am thinking of getting some in white and black.
Anyone?

Thanks,

George

I don't have any answers for you, but I have a question to add.
What would be the mold/mildew situation if it got wet under the plastic tiles?

I used Epoxy Shield 2part roll on it is very durable hard to chip.

I first used it on my last home it turned out great & never chipped.

I did it again on my new house, concrete was about 9mos old but it has been chipping up like crazy. I figured I didnt let it go thru a hot/cold cycle first
or should have etched it.

I was also looking at the plastic square stuff, but how good would a jack roll on it while lifting a car, the little bumps may cause a problem.

I was thinking of painting the garage floor the epoxy, but I do have some questions.
Will the paint flow over good, and not serprate, where I had to fill in some cracks in the cement floor? I'm not sure the paint will stick to the filler.
I was thinking of just doing the plastic flooring (snap together colored square tiles) under the 20th TTA in the one door opening section. To look like the car is displayed while in the garage.
I may just have to sign up over on that sight. I had it saved, but haven't had time to go check it out.

Thanks,

George

George, are you talking about the heavy plastic/rubber squares the snap together at the edges sort of like lego blocks?
If so, I was wondering about them myself.

Yep!
These:

The box showed white, but Sam's Club only shows red, black, and grey.
I don't know how they hold up with the car being back and forth, and if they slide around.

I didn't realize Sam's Warehouse had them. I saw them at either Lowe's or Home Depot. They had medium blue, gray and I think they may have had red. Didn't see any white.
