Oil breaks down rubber. Get the oil cleaned out.

Some oils break down some rubbers. Petroleum oils will generally
attack the rubbers used in tires pretty aggressively. I would
definitely break the tires down clean them out as best as possible
manually then thoroughly wash two or three times with a detergent
approved for tire use and let dry. If oil has been in the wheels a
length of time some damage has probably been done, but if the tires
look good inside,I'd probably not summarily replace them.
I hate to be pedantic but this is one reason there are air
conditioning compressors and air compressors. Yes, the Yorks will work
as an air compressor for awhile. But real AIR compressors are
available and do work a lot better. They can also be rigged to be
lubed from the engine's oil. Oil goes in through an orifice to the
compressor sump and back to the engine through a standpipe.
