Surviving Being Driven Upon

This is an area where epoxy garage floor paint notoriously has issues. Cars go in garages, and cars tend to have hot tires when they've been going down the road, so the fact that epoxy paint has a reputation for peeling under hot tires is a heck of a stigma. There's even a term for it: hot tire pickup. Most paint manufacturers promise that, with newer blends, this is not an issue. However, practical experience does not always agree with these claims, although you can never be sure that those who complain applied the epoxy paint correctly. Neither garage floor tiles nor other garage floor coverings have this issue, although mats can bunch up under moving tires, especially during steering. Again, though, that's supposed to be a thing of the past.
