Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of my new design, it being understood that the tread pattern is repeated throughout the circumference of the tread for a tire, 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; and,

FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevational view taken from FIG. 2.

The broken lines defining the tire inner bead and sidewall are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.
