hmm, maybe u got something stuck up in there? that would be my guess. probly drove over something and its rubbing up against your tire? i once drove over a huge pile of that plastic popping shit. you know the stuff they wrap delicate stuff in before they ship it. well it melted to my header and everytime i turned on the air/heat i could smell that shit

Maybe a plastic bag burned onto your exhaust system. Trust me, it happens.
