Shoulder for a tire

Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a shoulder for a tire 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 left side elevational view being identical thereto; and,

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

In the drawings, the broken lines immediately adjacent to the outer edges of the tire shoulder represent boundaries of the claim, and the broken lines depict environmental subject matter only and form no part of the claimed design.
