Tire tread

Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire tread embodying our design, it being understood that the tread pattern is repeated throughout the circumference of the tire tread, the opposite side being substantially the same as that shown;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a side elevational view thereof; and,

FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevational view of a portion of the tire tread as shown in FIG. 2, including the circumferentially spaced transverse ribs in the bottom of the opposing outer circumferential grooves in the tread which are omitted from FIG. 1 for the sake of clarity.

The broken line showing of the tire sidewall in the drawings is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.
