Did anyone have to deal with a strong offensive odor from the tires? Will it leave in time?

YES! OMG! I swear, I have had it for almost a year and it is the same still on a scortching hot day here in Florida, I still smell it. Granted it has drastically lost the smell, but it is still there on a hot hot day.

I haven't noticed that problem, but my mom uses it in her nursing home, so there are other odors to contend with!

yes there is standard tire odor. It has been decreasing with time and usage.

Yes, they smelled up the whole house. The smell went away in a couple of weeks.

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.

I also did not notice the odor, but I would guess that within a short period of time this would disappear. As with most things I did have minor problem with was to place outside for a few days.

I still have a slight smell. I also have air fresheners in the car vents. Try leaving your windows open and moonroof as often as possible weather permitting it definitely helps get rid of the smell

We did have a strong odor, mildew, mold, something like that and we took it outside to see if it would air out. We ended up sending it back for exchange.

Heya Noah, as with any new rubber-vinyl product, such as a kid's pool or air mattress, there will be some odor upon first opening the package. I did not find any offensive smell, really, but go ahead and inflate it, and let it air for an hour or so, outside if you must.....I just found that mine had a new product, clean smell. So hope that helps. Any chemical smell will subside shortly, in my experience, and it's not even that "bad". I have purchased several of INTEX's mattresses and have been delighted with the products. Best of luck, and enjoy your very well made mattress. kk voicebender.com Heya Noah, as with any new rubber-vinyl product, such as a kid's pool or air mattress, there will be some odor upon first opening the package.

The smell is a bit strong initially, especially if you leave it in a hot car. It goes away. I've had mine for about a year and I don't notice it anymore.

Mine had a very strong odor so I put it in my garage to air out, it has been 4 weeks now and it still smells but not as bad, maybe in another month or two I will be able to use it.

They are actual tires, just like on your car. After a while, the smell will dissipate and its not so bad. When you go into a tire store, you smell the same thing. It does go away.

I didn't notice any strong odors from ours. We put it in the car within a day of removing from the box. I wouldn't be concerned.

Mine had quite a bit of an odor. I'm still in the process of airing it out. Hopefully that will take care of it.

Mine had an odd smell when I got it, didn't really associate it with lighter fluid, but still... It now smells like my perfume and breath mints (the main scents in my purse). It quit smelling odd in less than a week. If it persists, I'd recommend just washing the rubber part with dish washing soap. Hope this helps.

Yes it has a hefty rubber smell, i have had it for awhile and the smell is slowly going away. but it is still there and sometimes leaves the smell on my hands after i drive. but it definitely is going away

Yes, it does have a strong odor at first. I took mine out of the sleeve and let it sit outside for a few days. I washed the sleeve also. It improved things but still had a slight odor. After a week, the odor has completely gone. Not ideal I know but it's fine now and still worth it. I haven't had acid reflux on any night when I use it.

We purchased our Drive Medical Footstool several years ago. We've never had a problem with strong rubber smells.

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.

Have you ever bought a new set of tires for your car? Have you ever smelled a new tire? It's the same with the speakers. The smell will dispute unless you put the speakers in the sun. It comes with any product who base material is Oil. Unless you have hyper sensitive smell capabilities, I wouldn't worry.
