FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of a tire tread showing my new design, it being understood that the tread pattern is repeated throughout the circumference of the tire tread, the opposite side being the same as that shown;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof, the opposite side being identical thereto;

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

FIG. 4 is a side perspective view of a second embodiment of a tire tread showing my new design, it being understood that the tread pattern is repeated throughout the circumference of the tire tread, the opposite side being the same as that shown;

FIG. 5 is a front elevational view of a second embodiment thereof, the opposite side being identical thereto; and,

FIG. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevational view of a second embodiment thereof.

The broken lines defining the shoulder, center treads, tire sidewall, inner bead, and the peripheral boundary between the claimed tire tread and sidewall are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.
