Off hand could be a couple of things. First someone could have put on tires that are too big for it. Check your correct stock tire sizes to the ones on it now. Next could be an engine belt rubbing on someting or running on offset (not correctly lined up) pulleys. Next I would look for the exhaust burning something. Sometimes road debris (rubber tire chunks,etc.) have been known to bounce up on your exhaust and slowly burn. Another thing that gets on exhaust and smells like rubber burning is new road tar (new asphalt paving). Last can be new undercoating (rubberized) dripped onto the exhaust when applied.

 

If you have a warranty it may not hurt to have it looked at, though, anyway - provided there's no charge.

 

thanks any one else with answers

 

any one have any more answer
