I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn’t repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

Oof you are very sure of yourself.
Regarding the asphalt: If there is a delta in energy level in matter then it will even our until an equilibrium is reached.
How could this apply here? When a car tire rolls over the fresh asphalt it wouldn’t rest a long time in one spot but it would definitely absorb some energy during contact. Since it is rotating and contacting the road it is reasonable to assume that there is would be a decent amount of heat transfer. Wind or air cooling of the tire doesn’t seem like a significant factor here. But that doesn’t really matter here anyways.
A long stretch of hot asphalt gives us a equally long distance of a tire surface area contacting the ground.
This gives us some heat transfer from the road into the tires.
The car drives in and takes the heat with it.
Many cars equals a decent amount of heat.
That could explain the pattern.
It is smart to think about alternatives to your own opinion when you don’t know all the facts.
Did I think about it very hard enough?
Why would you want to think about it that much ?
There is a lot of heat escaping from the truck while it is waiting to be dumped and this creates temperature gradient inside the load. I didn’t have to think about it that much because I worked for many years in asphalt surveillance.
Normally we don’t use infrared cameras but we do have infrared heat guns and much more sophisticated devices.
Make up your mind. Either you are a socially inept person, a kid, a troll or all of the above.
