I choose the plastic floor from Weathertech ( orange and black, of course). Looks pretty decent, I chose this brand because it has rubber injected into the surface for extra grip; figured  that wasn't a bad idea if I'm pulling in with a wet bike and feet. My only beef is that when the garage is warm, like summer, the floor tiles expand and buckle.  I'll take a picture today and post it.

Here's an install tip from RaceDeck to mitigate tiles buckling up from the heat.  Install your tiles on a hot day and place them in the sun before installing.  This expands the tile out, so when you install it the tile is at its max size.

It was easily and quickly installed, but of course it depends on the surface area and how much you have to pull out to get it down!

One tip:  if you're going to use multiple colors in a pattern and you know how to use a spreadsheet or other design software, do a layout or two on the software to see what you like the best, then buy the tiles you need for it, plus extras of each color.

I didn't break any during installation.  My floor was very easy to install, just get a rubber mallet to help when you need it.  I bought from a reseller, one I could get free shipping from with a minimum amount of tiles ordered. 

I've spilled oil on it, and it cleans up well by getting the majority of it up, then wiping with lacquer thinner or a good degreaser.
I've seen no color change, and it is very strong material.  Installation time for me was maybe an hour for a 10' x 10' area; after said area was emptied and cleaned first!

Racedeck website has a design your floor section that will let you pick colors, make the design and then tell you how much of each color is needed.

Here's another brand to throw into the mix, Swisstrax, https://obsessed-garage.myshopify.com/collections/garage-flooring

The guy that started "The Obsessed Garage" swears by them, if you look around on his website he has a couple of video's on the install, he's kind of long winded on all of his video's, I don't have any experience with them, just another brand to look at

  after,reading this thread decided to install speedway garage tiles(orange and black). easy to install and colors match from tile to tile. they sell for $1.75. installed a little over 600 square ft.in 10 hrs. most of that was moving all my junk and moving it back in. follow up in few days as to how it performs.

Woo Hoo! Very nice and it matches the car. Do you have a TV that goes with that sofa chair?
