›FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a…

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

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a side elevational view therof;

FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view of a segment of the tread and shoulder portion thereof shown in FIG. 2 within the oval identified as FIG. 4 illustrating a pattern of notches in the sidewalls of the outer circumferential groove of the tread, it being understood that the pattern of notches is repeated uniformly throughout the circumference of the groove shown herein as well as the opposing outer circumferential groove shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and that the pattern of notches is omitted in FIGS. 1 and 2 since it cannot be accurately depicted therein due to the small scale to which the tire is drawn; and,

FIG. 5 is a greatly enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional perspective view of a portion of the sidewall of the circumferential groove shown in FIG. 4 within the oval identified as 5 illustrating one of the notches in the sidewall in greater detail.
