Can you use cement to tile on an asphalt floor?
If you are positive that it is asphalt I would not suggest adhering tile directly to the asphalt. If removal of asphalt is not an option I would install a subfloor and use thinset mortar to adhere the tile. Another option (probably the better option) would be to pour a concrete mix over the asphalt. Than use thinset to install the tile. The concrete will incapsolate the asphalt. Asphalt more than likely has oils in it and can be a hazard.

Can you lay tile over asphalt under the carport?
Asphalt moves so much with shrinking and swelling it's rediculous to try. If you really want tile in your carport I suggest you lay a sheet of plastic over the asphalt and apply a layer of concrete on the plastic making sure you frame out the sides to make a solid pad. A self leveling cement like "ardex" on top of the concrete should make a nice surface for tiling. Tile over the cement and you should be fine.
