Tire

Description

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a tire showing my new design, it being understood that the tire's tread pattern shown by the solid lines is repeated uniformly throughout the circumference of the tire as indicated schematically by the broken lines.

FIG. 2 is a front right perspective view thereof;

FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevational view thereof; and,

FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary front right perspective view thereof.

The dash-dot-dot-dash broken lines immediately adjacent the solid line showing of the tire shoulder represents the boundary of the claimed design and forms no part thereof; the evenly spaced broken lines represent unclaimed environmental subject matter.
