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;

FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view thereof;

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

FIG. 5 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 at the top and bottom of FIG. 2.

The broken lines defining the tire sidewall and inner bead and the peripheral boundary between the sidewall and the claimed tire tread are for illustrative purposes only and form 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
