Default Must be a better way to protect chair legs on tile floors

Three times in the past three years I've bought a complete set
of rubber foot protectors for the wooden chairs that are slid
day in and day out on the tile floors.

Note to self; Don't ever use a grouted tile floor where furniture
will be slid around.

If I had one, my first stop would be the biggest, fanciest, tile store
in the area to see what they recommend.

I like those teflon gliders that get tacked into the legs---- but I
think about twice over that grout line and they'd break right off.

God-awful-ugly, IMO, but I'd be tempted to put a smooth gliding
surface over the tile.

Googling for the name of that - I ran across the ones I use in my
kitchen, on vinyl, but they say they are for ceramic tile, too-- I'm
wary, but here's the link;

Let us know what you find for a solution.
