    Best bet is to call Mapei tech support. They'll tell you if they'd be willing to guarantee it. I've seen ready mix used on bigger tiles, but it's not something i'd recommend personally.

    Me personally wouldn't use tubbed addy on a tile that size. I'd go with p9, or something similar.

    Probably a little big for a dispersion adhesive imo.

    I would say 'way too big' for dispersion addy. get yourself a bag of Mapei p9 and an 8mm trowel min.
