Last few days when I get home, I smell burning rubber, and have tracked it down to the passenger rear tire.
The tire has been making the 'thump thump thump' noise for a while, so I swapped it out for another tire I have sitting around. Took the car for a test drive, went 2 miles at about 140kph. Got back and the smell was still there!
What could be causing this? The tire I pulled off does not appear to be badly worn. It is well above the wear bars, rolls without falling over, and is not cupped.
I'm thinking alignment.... ideas?
