Racedeck or Kiwi Tile?

I'm having my carport converted into a single car garage. Nothing exciting, but after 7 years I'll finally have a garage. I want to cover the weather beaten and stained garage floor with something. I think my best bet is to install a floor covering such as the tiles from Racedeck or Kiwi Tile. Has anyone had any experience with these plastic tiles? Do they make noise when driven on or walked across? Do they tend to stay put? Are the ventilated tiles better for traction? I've seen these things at a few ALMS events, but not installed in a garage.

Well.... after a bit more research, it appears as if the Motormat is the best way to go from a cost perspective. If I can find an online vendor, I should be good to go.

I have Race Deck, and it is great. You can use a floor jack, and it is a floating system; no glue. No it does not move, or sound funny. The sound is like walking on a boat dock. Search

I got a sample ( 2 tiles ) of both rackdeck and kiwitile. Both are nice
products ,but i found the racedeck was thicker and more solid, so i
went with the racedeck ( to be delivered next week). For those interested
in this type of floor i'd suggest ordering direct from racedeck, mine was $2.99 sq/ft direct, and they were great to deal with.
