Question IS 350 smelling BAD

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

Might want to take this into the IS section of the forums. You are in the SC section now.
