FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a tire tread showing my new design, it being understood that the tire pattern repeats circumferentially throughout the outer circumference;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of one side of the tire tread shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary side elevational view of one side of the tire tread shown in FIG. 1; and,
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary side elevational view of the other side of the tire tread shown in FIG. 1.
