A good *COMMERCIAL* grade tile, properly installed with a good base
should work OK. Go to a real tile place and ask. Don't assume that the
99 cent tiles you get from the big box store will have nearly enough
strength. It will help a lot if the garage floor is in very good shape
(no big cracks, or dips, or anything).

Car dealers and other such places routinely tile floors that have cars
driven on them.


You can imagine what a little road sand on a tire will do to any glazed
tile
surface.



Soapstone is gaining some attraction, and it darkens with mineral oil
application to be almost black. Regular reapplication of mineral oil to
dilute any eninge oils will keep this surface looking great for a long
time, but ONLY with a dead level floor, and complete coverage of the
thinset.
