To install tile on concrete, first clean and prepare the concrete surface. Apply a layer of thin-set mortar using a trowel, then place the tiles on top, pressing them firmly into the mortar. Use spacers to maintain even spacing between tiles. Allow the mortar to dry completely before grouting the tiles. Apply grout between the tiles, wiping away excess with a damp sponge. Finally, seal the grout to protect it from stains and moisture.

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.
