Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire tread showing my new design, it being understood that the tread pattern is repeated uniformly throughout the circumference of the tire, the opposite side being substantially the same as that illustrated; and,

FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary plan view of the tread pattern of FIG. 1 showing my new design.

The broken line disclosure of a tire bead and sidewall is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.
