Tire tread

Description

FIG. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of a tire in accordance with my new design it being understood that the tread pattern repeats uniformly througout the surface of the tire tread and that the opposite edge perspective view is identical to that shown;

FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a side elevational view thereof, with the opposite side of the tire tread being the same as that shown in FIG. 3;

FIG. 4 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view taken generally along the line 4--4 of FIG. 2; and,

The broken lines in FIG. 1, 2 & 5 are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design. The irregular outer edges of the design shown in FIG. 1-4 indicate that the tire tread is of indeterminate length.
