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 an enlarged fragmentary front elevation view of the tread pattern of FIG. 1;




FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevation view of another embodiment of the tread pattern of our new design, the only difference being the addition of T-shaped embossments within the shoulder grooves of the tread; and,




FIG. 4 is a side elevation view of the tread pattern of FIG. 1, the opposite side elevation view being identical thereto.




In the drawings, broken line disclosure of a tire sidewall portion and inner bead are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.
