FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;




FIG. 3 is a side elevational view thereof, the opposite side elevational view being identical thereto; and,




FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view.




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