RaceDeck white tiles

[Gooble]

Hi,
I'm looking to do my garage floor with RaceDeck floor tiles. One of the color combinations that I'm looking use a bunch of white tiles. For those of you who have used white RaceDeck tiles, do these tiles get marked over time with car tires? Do the 'Alloy' or 'Beige' do any better?
Thanks much for your response and experiences with picking the right color.

I have the Costco MotoFloor in my garage, in black and white, which is made by RaceDeck. The white tiles don't pick up markings from car tires, other than mud/dirt tracked onto them. The white tiles do show dirt more than the black ones, but they're not hard to clean.

I hose out the garage, then go back and hit trouble spots with some simple green and a scrub brush (an old broom works, and keep you from having to bend over) and hose out again. I usually have to squeegee the floor afterwards to help drying since my garage isn't at enough of a slope for the water to drain quickly.

HI Gooble,
I put 18" red/white checkerboard in my garage. I was prepared for showing everything and not surprised, it does show grease and such, but for my application as a home garage it's not a big issue. It was suggested that the silver? tile would go well in place of the white but I'm very pleased with the results. I did not want to lose the light reflecting qualities of the white, so I'm very happy with my choice. One thing I plan to do tho, my tire changing station gets very messy, I'm going to do that area in graphite (ie pull up the red/white around the changer) or silver.

Tire marks are not really a problem on my car, the bikes, one leaves no marks the other does, but that's due to the soft compound of those particular tires. I mop it every few weeks with ammonia/water and takes care of it.

I toyed with using white tiles but decided the alloy and graphic combo would be best for me. No fancy smancy borders or stripes thrown in either. I used coin dot except where the two daily drivers park, under their footprint I used the free flow tiles. With these vehicles coming home during the winter with slush hanging in the wheel wells it seemed like the right choice. Sorry for the low resolution iPhone photo. I will try and get a better one with my SLR when I get things cleaned up some more.
