Tire

Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire embodying my new design, it being understood that the cicumferentially repeating series of concentric linear rectangles, depending from that base surface of the sidewall contained within the concentric circles adjacent to said rectangles, is of the same color as said base surface, with said base surface contrasting in color from the remainder of the tire;

FIG. 2 is a greatly enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional view thereof taken along line 2--2 in FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is an enlarged side elevational view thereof, it being understood that the opposite side is substantially a mirror image of the side shown; and

FIG. 4 is an enlarged segment of the sidewall thereof shown in FIG. 3.

The characteristic feature of my design resides in the above-mentioned series of linear rectangles of the sidewall of the tire.
