FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a center tread for a tire showing our new design, it being understood that the pattern repeats uniformly throughout the circumference of the tire;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view thereof, the left side elevational view being identical thereto; and,

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

The broken lines defining the sidewall, inner bead and the peripheral boundary between the tire tread and the sidewall are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design. Any broken line areas which appear within the shaded, center portion of the design illustrate sipes which are 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
