Abstract
Description




FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire tread showing our new design, it being understood that a tread pattern is repeated over the outer circumference of the tread width and the adjacent shoulders of the tire, the opposite side perspective view being identical thereto;




FIG. 2 is a enlarged fragmentary front elevation view of the tread pattern of FIG. 1; and,




FIG. 3 is a further enlarged fragmentary cross sectional view of the tire tread, taken along line 3—3 in FIG. 2.




In the drawings, the dark stippled surface shading represents the recessed portion of the tread grooves, having the depth shown in FIG. 3. The broken line disclosure of a tire sidewall and inner bead are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.
