FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire tread of this invention showing our new design, it being undestood that the tread pattern repeats circumferentially throughout the outer circumference and shoulder of a tire, the opposite side perspective view being an identical image thereto; and,
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevation view of the tire tread thereof of FIG. 1.
In the drawings, the dark stippled surface shading represents the recessed groove portions of the tire tread having a depth as best illustrated along the right edge of FIG. 1.
