Description
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire tread showing our new
design, it being understood that the pattern repeats uniformly
throughout the circumference of the tread;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof; and,
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view thereof, the opposite side
elevational view being a mirror image thereof.
In the drawings, the broken lines defining the inner bead of the
sidewall and the peripheral boundary between the tire tread and the
sidewall are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the
claimed design.
