If don't like your tires it is ok
If you want your slicks to have a snow tire pattern on about a foot of roll out diamond plate is for you, but you will have detrimental effects on traction with your tires if you park on a rough surface like diamond plate with your hot sticky tires. If you want to protect your floor, use smooth aluminum, flip the diamond plate over to protect your soft impressionable expensive tires. Diamond plate is good for ATV's and daily drivers with hard tires.
