Do these smell like used tires? I bought horse stall mats & had to return due to the awful smell.

There was an initial smell of rubber when we first unpacked them, but went away...no smell now at all.

I was worried about that too, but no. They did have a smell for a couple days, but nothing too overwhelming. Now they are odorless.

The smell dissipated quickly and is quite acceptable in our finished basement.

Mine have a faint smell of rubber. Not offensive and even that is diminishing with time.

The FitBall mini i got smelled like new rubber... like the smell of a brand new pair of rubber shoes... I don't know if that's the odor you smelled but it should not be smelling "terrible" that you have to "off gas" it.

No, ours didn't have any smell to them. My mother in law would notice that kind of thing too. Maybe you got a wrong batch? :o( That's terrible though.

There is a slight rubbery like smell. For me it didn't bother me or my husband. It is really hard to gauge as everybody's tolerance for smell is different. I've seen them sold at a Walmart store. That might be an option.

Personally, I like these tires. My daughter-in-law has the air-filled tires. They make the ride smoother, but they stink to high heaven! The manufacturer made them with cheap rubber. Maybe they don't smell so much now (hopefully) since this was a couple years ago that I got this. I wouldn't try it myself.

I think it's just the processed cheap tire smell. I have it for 6 months now and smell was gone after couple weeks of use during my move. I still use it occasionally and its hidden behind a guest bed in a room right now. There is absolutely no smell of it in the room right now.

There was an odor when they were new but I don't notice it anymore. I never thought it was so bad that I would keep anyone from tumbling on it. We have two of these mats and love them.

I do not recall any smell when new and certainly have none now. If you wash them you MUST dry on low for several hours because they are so dense. Awesome pillows.

They smell a little like rubber but, not to the point of throwing them out. I do air them out after every wear.

U can buy oils to mix in if u have not already. I dont understand why yours smells like a rubber tire mine barely had smell both times i bought it.

I have only used mine for one season but I have had no problems with durability so far. They seem to be heavy duty enough to last a long time. The wheels are stamped steel and the tires are solid rubber. The only complaint I have is the odor from the rubber that several of the reviewers talked about. It is strong and last a long time. I think it is outgassing from the rubber compound that is used and probably is due to the process being used to make them not being the same as we are used to with normal tires. Not sure if it would bother a deer but I don't leave the cart near my stand location. I have only used mine for one season but I have had no problems with durability so far.

I aired them out and didn't notice an odor. They are horrible pillows though....don't waste your money.

When I bought them they were. The dogs love them, but I have to warn you, just as the other review state, they smell bad!

They do smell a little but not all that bad, if you live in Texas you would need one. I use mine in a climbing stand so i dont worry about the little bit of smell

Mine didn't smell at all. I would try hot soapy water or some vinegar and baking soda for the smell. If it doesn't go away amazon may exchange them. Good luck.

I don't think it's specifically the wheels that smell but the cart does have an unpleasant odor at first. I've had mine a while now and the good news is that the odor dissipates with time.

Not sure what smell people were referring to. Ours did not have any unusual odor. Kind of new leather smell for a very short period of time.They are in my son's bedroom, so somewhat of a confined space and we can't smell anything.
