Description

1 parts
›FIG. 1 is a right side perspective view…

FIG. 1 is a right 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 substantially the same as that shown;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view of the right side thereof, the opposite side being a mirror image thereof; and,

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

In the drawings, the dark stippled surface shading represents the recessed portion of the tread grooves, having a depth as best shown in FIG. 2. The broken line showing of a tire inner bead and the peripheral boundary between the tire tread and the sidewall is for illustrative purposes only and 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
