Tire tread

Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire tread of the present application taken generally from the front and a first side of the tire;

FIG. 2 is a front view thereof (and the top, bottom, and rear views are the same based on the repeating nature of the tread design pattern throughout the circumference);

FIG. 3 is the first side view thereof (and the second side is the same as the first side);

FIG. 4 is an enlarged, partial perspective view thereof taken generally from the front and the first side of the tire;

FIG. 5 is an enlarged, partial front view thereof; and,

FIG. 6 is an enlarged, partial side view thereof.

The broken lines adjacent the tire shoulder in each figure depict the boundaries of the claim. The broken lines depict subject matter that forms no part of the claimed tire tread design, and are included for the purpose of illustrating the full tire. Likewise, the tire interior forms no part of the claim. The tread pattern is understood to repeat uniformly throughout the circumference of the tire.
