Description

›FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of…

FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of a tire tread showing my new design, it being understood that the tread pattern is repeated throughout the circumference of the tire tread, the opposite side being the same as that shown;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof, the opposite side being identical thereto;

FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the right side thereof; and,

FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevational view thereof.

The broken lines defining the sidewall, inner bead, tread lug walls, peripheral boundaries between the tread lugs and grooves, and the peripheral boundary between the claimed tire tread and the sidewall depict environmental subject matter that forms no part of the claimed design.
