Shoulder of a tire

Description

The FIGURE is a perspective view of a shoulder of a tire showing my new design, it being understood that the shoulder pattern is repeated uniformly throughout the circumference of the tire as shown schematically by solid lines, and the inner peripheral boundary of the shoulder is defined by the stipple shading. The portions of the tire shown in broken lines are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.
