Description
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of shoulders of a tire showing our new design, it being understood that the shoulder pattern repeats circumferentially throughout the tire, the opposite side perspective view being identical thereto; and
FIG. 2 is a full front elevation view of the shoulders of the tire, the full rear elevation view being identical thereto; and
FIG. 3 is a side elevation view of the shoulders of the tire, the opposite side elevation view being identical thereto; and,
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a tread block of a shoulder of the tire, wherein the tread block is repeated circumferentially around the tire tread forming each shoulder of the tire.
In the drawings, the dark stippled surface shading represents the recessed portion of the tread grooves, having a depth as best shown along the right edge of FIG. 1. The broken line disclosure of the tire sidewall, tire crown and inner bead is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.
