race deck vs. vinyl floor tile

[1carguy]

I have had vinyl floor tile installed in several of my garages. I have had a major problem in each when the vehicles front wheels are turned popping up the vinyl floor tiles. This has happened in my home garage where cars are parked as well as my other garage where I keep my larger toys which includes a motor home that weighs 50,000 lbs. Question is with regular use would race deck pop or move when the front wheels are turned on vehicles? Any other alternatives that would be problem free?

Thanks

Race Deck does not pop up or move. The only issue I have with them is with jack stands and floor jacks damaging it. I have to use a plate under the stand or jack to avoid damage.

the griots garage stands are made for race deck type flooring. They have round disks on the feet. They work great.

Very true, but I already have 6 perfectly good jack stands and the Griot's ones are rather spendy. Even better are the tubular aluminum stands from Torin that SnapOn and others sell. They have one round platform rather than four feet. If I decide to spend the bucks, those are the ones I'll buy. Torin aluminum jack stands.

I put an extra tile under each jack stand and that solves the problem of indentations. I've never had a problem with the floor jack leaving indents.

I have the AC jack stands and also have never had a problem with indents on my racedeck. I have had machinery indent it but it "popped" back out after a few days to a week.
