Hi, Im new to this site and I have bad smelling car. It's a '06 IS 350 and the bad smell is outside of the car, thank god. I recently got a set of new tires put on "Nitto Invo" and ever since then I have this really bad smell kinda like horse ******, every time I walk into my garage its like walking into a horse stall, its not the typical rubber tire smell. SO I took it back to my tire place and they told my that it wasnt the tires but its because the rear wheels have some kind of carpet above them for noise reduction and those got wet and started to smell, and I can't tell what it is. But I can't believe in a coincidence like this.

So has anyone else experienced anything like this ???

Thank YOU

 

well, this isn't the first time.

1. How Often do you clean the car

2. You might have a dead rat in engine bay

3. Burned rubber from new tires?

 

maybe you ran over some poop and the tires flung it up into your wheel well?

 

hose down your wheel wells and tires really good with dish soap

 

bring it to a 1 dollar car wash machine and turn it to the degreaser.. spray everywhere inside, outside, and around your tires.. like ultima said, it could be around your wheel wall..

 

Thanks guys I guess I'll try to wash it out...
