The stick-on vinyl tiles can work, but care needs to be taken to properly prepare the concrete for maximum adhesion. If there is any grease or oily residue or dust/dirt, the tiles won't stick very well. Also, if you have very sticky compound tires, they may actually stick better to the tiles than the tiles stick to the floor, meaning the tiles may peel up as you drive across them, especially if the tires are hot. I've seen this happen in friends' garages. But as Z-07 freak has shown the vinyl tiles can and do work very well.

A couple of other friends have Race Deck plastic tiles in their garages. They too are well made, resist stains, clean up easily and have several textures and a lot of colors available. More expensive than vinyl tiles, but way more durable in the long run.
