Literally. I just threw on the winter wheels today, so now I have my summers in my apartment (my garage is shared).

They were wet, so I removed them from the tire bags to dry, and now it pretty much smells like feet. I couldn't be more disgusted as I'm writing a take-home exam.

I'll clean them later today after I finish the exam, before I set them up for storage, but man, this is ridiculous. Is it the brake dust? Maybe I slept-drove through a manure patch, or perhaps its the natural effect of vulcanized rubber. I do know that tires release certain compounds over time, but right now it's kind of gross.


There's no real reason I posted (I'm hoping they'll smell a bit less after I clean them), but like somebody farting, I thought people might find it funny.

My dad has a rubber mallet that stinks so bad, he keeps it in the backyard shed. It was bad enough that it stunk up the entire garage. :smile:

It ended up being whatever was stuck in the treads. I cleaned them again before I left and that seemed to solve it. We'll see what my apartment smells like when I get back to school.
