›FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of…

FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of a tire tread showing our 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;

FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the left side thereof; and,

FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevational view thereof.

In the drawings, the shaded surfaces comprise the claim. The broken lines defining the sidewall, inner bead, tread lug side walls, and the peripheral boundary between the claimed tire tread and the sidewall depict environmental subject matter that forms no part of the claimed design.
