Element RC General Grabber A/T X 1.55" Tires (2)

I’ve bought these before and they were great for a scale tire. I needed some more and ordered some. I just now got around to using them, and the moment I opened them, it was so overwhelming on an extreme bad smell! They had some sort of extremely sticky residue on them as well, that was almost impossible to get off my wheels and bench top. I reached out to Associated and they basically laughed. I’ve tried heavy soap, vinegar, and other treatments, and they’ve been in my garage airing out for months. In the trash they’ll go I guess, such a disappointment and waste of money. I have never had this problem with any tires before. I’m not sure what was going on with these tires. Save you’re money and avoid these!
