I have porcelain tiles (TD bank commercial grade outdoor rated w/ antislip).
For longevity it can't be beat. They are stronger than exposed concrete. I dropped my 1,000lbs car hoist from 2' when I was lifting it and it made a small chip. That's the equivalent of someone taking 10 sledge hammers and smashing a single point of the garage. Point being is that if it was exposed concrete it would have a massive break, same with epoxy, etc. I also had my gym in the garage, I dropped a 45 lbs iron plate on the tiles, my plate chipped, the tile just had a scuff i had to wipe off from the black plate.
Jack stands/jacks are a non issue. I am lifting 5,000 lbs SUV on the floor with the jack, never had any problems.
Since most people don't keep their houses long and this is expensive just get those racedeck tiles. They are perfect for light duty work and will satisfy the inner ricer in you. Porcelain is for real men & real garage work

I don't remember exact cost, roughly 440 sq. ft. of garage space I paid $1/sq. ft for the tile from a left over job at a TD branch, I did use premium thinset, I had to level/repour part of the original floor, etc.
Well worth it imo. Whatever you do just skip the epoxy, it doesn't last in our climate.

That's perfectly fine, I'd rather leave exposed concrete and blow it out with a cordless dewalt weekly than look at flaking and chipped epoxy home depot special.

Yup, agreed. I like the tile to be honest.

hrmm, seems like the race deck is a good fit for me. if i find that i don't like them then i can sell it after too and get the tile.
Or buy from Costco and return it LOL
