Abstract
Description




FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire tread 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 side elevational view thereof, the opposite side elevational view being a mirror image thereof;




FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view; and,




FIG. 5 is an alternate embodiment of the tire tread of FIG. 2 above, it being understood that the pattern repeats uniformly throughout the circumference of the tread and that the side elevational views thereof are a mirror image of that shown in FIG. 3.




In the drawings, the broken lines defining the inner bead of the 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.
