Tread for a tire

Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tread for a tire showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a side elevational view thereof;

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

FIG. 5 is a front elevational view of a tread for a tire showing a second embodiment of our new design, it being understood that a view in side elevation thereof is substantially the same as the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 except that the shoulder grooves do not extend down all the way through the shoulder ribs; and,

FIG. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevational view of FIG. 5.

The pattern is understood to be repeated uniformly throughout the circumference of both embodiments of the tread for a tire and the broken line showing of the tire sidewall in the drawings is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.
