Tire tread

Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire tread showing my 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 opposite side elevational view being identical thereto;

FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of a tire tread showing my new design, it being understood that the pattern repeats uniformly throughout the circumference of the tread and that the opposite side perspective view is identical; and,

FIG. 6 is a front elevational view of a second embodiment, it being understood an enlarged fragmentary view thereof would be substantially identical to that shown in FIG. 4, with the exception of the inclusion of the sidewall in solid lines.

In the drawings, the broken lines defining the sidewall, inner bead and the peripheral boundary between the tire tread and the sidewall in FIGS. 1 through 4 are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.
