Tire

Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is an elevational view of the side shown in FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view thereof taken along line 3--3 in FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is a perspective view thereof showing the side opposite to that shown in FIG. 1;

FIG. 5 is an elevational view of the side shown in FIG. 4; and

FIG. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken along line 6--6 in FIG. 4.

The characteristic feature of my design resides in the plurality of sequentially-adjacent modules along the sidewall of the tire defined by a pair of spaced circumferential ribs, connected by predetermined angularly-spaced substantially radial ribs, all of said ribs depending from the base surface of the sidewall and being of the same color as said surface.
