The weight of the tire footprint will compress the asphalt. In the long term, that allows the crude oil to migrate (leach) into the pours tread of tires.
Read “long term storage” on page 2.

"long term storage" page 2 states the same heat reference "Do not store tires in contact with black asphalt or other heat absorbent surfaces ". I'm not contending that asphalt isn't made with petroleum but rather my contention is that if there was THAT much oil "leaching out" that it would be too slick to drive on (especially in the rain), and the EPA would not allow the run off.
