Description

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view showing my new tire tread design, it being understood that the tire pattern repeats circumferentially throughout the outer circumference, and that the carcass portion of the tire located radially inwardly of the tread forms no part of my new design.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of one side of the tire tread shown in FIG. 1, the other side being a mirror image of FIG. 2; and,

FIG. 3 is a side elevational view showing my new design.

The broken lines in the drawings represent the peripheral boundary of the claim and form no part thereof.

Claims
