Default New Tires - Burning Smell

I installed new Continental DWS tires,, stock size on the front and 285-30-19's on the rear. I have noticed a burning rubber smell now, coming from both the front and rear wheel area. I thought maybe the rear tires were rubbing, but stuck my hand in the wheel well and there is plenty of room. Plus this wouldn't explain the smell in the front.
Any ideas what is causing this? Thanks for your help.
