Need to be clear about what they are offering.
Recycled asphalt can mean fresh asphalt, which uses ground up old asphalt as the aggregate. What you end up with there is going to be a typical asphalt drive, that just cost a little less due to the recycled content. Tires will sink into it for a few years until it ages well. And it will have the same nice black color that you expect with fresh asphalt.
Ground asphalt would be the equivalent of crusher run concrete, except that it has enough petroleum tar left in it that it can be rolled or compacted and tend to stick together, which crusher run concrete won't ever do unless you oil it. I don't think the tar is fresh enough that tires would sink into it. Just like well aged asphalt.
Ask to see some examples of their material laid down.
