Listening to this I had a “Huh, my car does that, too.” Except mine’s a 2003 Forester. None of the tire wear issues, or the only-uphill, but still a burning smell that I cannot locate (no leaking fluids, no obvious smoke, though it started only after I had the engine replaced). I think the heat from the catalytic converter explanation fits my situation best.
