Here is armstrongs response on using VCT on a garage floor. May be just a legality issue though. I still plan to see if I can cost out some of their safety line for my garage...

Thank you for contacting Armstrong.

There are many things to consider when installing tile (or sheet) flooring
in a garage. First, the temperature should be a minimum of 65 degrees 48
hours before, during installation and 48 hours after completion of the job.
After installation. temperature should be maintained at a minimum of 55
degrees. Secondly, automobile fluids, such as brake, transmission and
oil, if leaked onto the flooring can get into the joints of tile and break
down the adhesive creating a bonding issue and a possible installation
failure. The antioxidants from the rubber in the tires will cause a
permanent yellow discoloration to any resilient flooring. You should
place a barrier, such as a piece of Plexiglass, between the tire and the
flooring to prevent this from occurring. Also, exposure to the moisture
from rain or snow and varying temperatures will have a damaging affect on
both tile or sheet flooring.

Taking into consideration all the issues discussed above, it is probably
not a good idea to install resilient flooring in a garage. If you can
maintain the temperature, keep the floor properly maintained, protect the
floor from automobile fluid, discoloration from the tires and inclement
weather, a commercial grade floor would be the best choice - tile
(including our Safety Zone tile), or sheet flooring.
