New tires smell like poop?

The TPMS alerted me to a slightly higher temp on my right front and found that caliper to be failing as well. Changed them all out after that.

What I said was that the TPMS do not give an accurate casing temp. They will respond to other heat sources like a bearing or brake caliper because it is heating up the hub and wheel. The internal sensors will give a more accurate casing temp, but few coaches have them.

I've changed out 8 tires since then, with practically no smell at all. All manufactured in Japan.
Seems to be hit or miss !

My guess is that it's one guy who's grandpa was a WW2 casualty on some Pacific island, and he occasionally drops a deuce in the molding machine when the batch is headed this way.
