A rubber burning smell and smoke near your two front tires could be the result of sticking calipers. The brake line could also be the cause of the burning smell.

A burning rubber smell from the passenger rear tire hubcap may indicate that the brake components are overheating, possibly due to a stuck brake caliper or worn brake pads. Excessive friction can generate heat, leading to the rubber components, such as the wheel bearings or seals, beginning to deteriorate. Additionally, it could be a sign of a tire issue, such as a malfunctioning tire pressure monitoring system or a tire rubbing against the wheel well. It's important to inspect the vehicle promptly to prevent further damage or safety hazards.
