FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire tread of this invention showing our new design, it being understood that the tread pattern repeats circumferentially throughout the outer circumference and shoulder of a tire, the opposite side perspective view being an inverted image thereto; and,

FIG. 2 is a full frontal elevation view of the tire tread thereof of FIG. 1 .

In the drawings, the dark stippled surface shading represents the recessed groove portions of the tire tread having a depth as best illustrated along the top and bottom edge of FIG. 2 . The broken line disclosure of the tire sidewall and inner bead depicts environmental subject matter that forms no part of the claimed design.

the grant prints no section headings; every part label below is ours, taken from that part's own first words
