A bit of a late reply but mine are cheap ones and I've never had any issues. A friend of mine runs a digger business and has been known to even run fully loaded dumpers over them. His have some sharp edges where the traction surface has been a chewed up but apart from that they are fine.
I tried keeping mine on the roof but it's a bit of a pain to load and unload them in tight lanes. I ended up keeping them in the back and putting up with the mess.

Hi, I got some cheap ebay boards. Had for a few years now. They live on my roof rack. You can see on this link that they flex, but you can tell by the tyre there was some pressure put on them.
