I have a 2018 Honda Clarity and 2017 Chevy Volt which I bought spare tires for. I hate the rubber odor from the compact tires, as i have the tires surface mounted in my trunk. I tried a few methods to lower or remove the smell from the trunk. See steps taken below or on the video.

Steps I took to remove the rubber smell from my car:
- Use baking soda ( https://amzn.to/32VPorO ) to absorb order in trunk.
- Vacuum trunk after using baking soda
- Wash rubber tire / mat with dish washing liquid ( https://amzn.to/2ye0WbJ ) and rinse
- Soak rubber tire / mat with white vinegar ( https://amzn.to/2Mh0GAZ) . Solution Mixture 1 cup per gallon of water . I used my shower stall, by plugging the drain, and pouring about 5 gallons of the solution in to the stall. I soaked each side of the tire in the stall solution for about 3-4 hours on each side.
- Wash off and rinse the vinegar with dish washing liquid and rinse.
- Place the tire in sunlight area for 1 day. Expose the other side for a 1 day in the sun.
- DONE. Replace the rubber tire or mat back into the trunk.
