Reason I as is that I had a car that had the exaust in front of the left rear tire, and that tire wore down 3x as fast as the rest of the tires.
Interesting question... I don't know but I would surmise that it doesn't since the swing arm is solid there if I'm not mistaken which would block most of the heat IMHO. I'll ask him though...
