Description

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a tire tread showing my new design, it being understood that the tread pattern repeats uniformly throughout the circumference of the tire tread, the opposite side perspective view being identical thereto;

FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary plan view of the tread pattern of FIG. 1 further showing my new design; and,

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the fragmentary plan view of FIG. 2.

The broken line disclosure of a tire sidewall and inner bead is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.
