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;
FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view thereof, the other side
being a mirror image of the right side thereof; and,
FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary frontal view.
In the drawings, the broken lines defining the sidewall and inner
bead and the peripheral boundary between the tire tread and the
sidewall are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the
claimed design.
The dark stippled surface shading represents the recessed portion
of the tread grooves, having a depth as best shown along the top
and bottom boundaries of FIG. 2.
