A tire cover may help. Amazon has them for about 20 dollars.

Smell of brand new rubber... Mmmm, wonder if they make an air freshener in this sent..

it will go away, in time. I agree a cover would probably help too.

thx for the comments, the useful ones that is.tried a bestop tire cvr for a while , but that stinks too because its made for a tire outside the trk. most common idea everywhere is leave it out in the sun for a while.
