Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire tread showing my new tire tread design, it being understood that the tread pattern is repeated throughout the circumference of the tire, the opposite side being the same as that illustrated;

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 enlarged 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.
