For those with burning smell...FIXED!!!!

Hey guys, I just went out and got gas, and happened to notice my tires looked a little low....turns out, they were at 20 PSI!!! I aired them back up to 30, and the burning rubber smell I was getting at high speeds is gone now.....so for those of you that are getting that smell, I would check out the tires......THe only other thing I could think of was a slipping belt on the engine (thanks to grey) but they are all tight, so thats not the prob on my ride...but you can always check that if your tires are OK.

Hehe, I just pumped mine up from 20 psi this afternoon. It fixed my shaking steering wheel problem.
