I used a high quality self stick residential tile in my last house. It did wear really well. I layed the luan floor panels down, puttyed the cracks and any divots, and was VERY judicious in making sure NO nails were protruding. All was flush and well swept and vacuumed. Used no primer. Layed out the centering chalk lines (n/s, e/w) and made sure the arrows on the tile backs were always the same direction. Once you set that tile down, there's no adjusting!!! To pull it up, you destroy it. Possibly a heat gun would help recover an errant placement. Never tried that. It lasted well past 6 years before it started showing where any chairs were always at. Traffic patterns still barely showed after almost ten years. I thought that was pretty good for something non-ceramic. Oh yeah, it always bothered me to see the two spots where the nail heads were not flush with the luan. It telegraphed through to the tile surface and always called my name!!!
