burnt rubber
Dragstrip scent signature
Burnt rubber is the acrid smell produced when rubber overheats from friction or fire—most commonly from tires spinning against pavement.
The phrase often describes aggressive driving: He peeled out, leaving the smell of burnt rubber behind.
Burning rubber means accelerating rapidly enough to make tires smoke and screech.
