FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a motorcycle tire showing my new design, it being understood that the tread and sidewall pattern repeats uniformly throughout the circumference of the tire, and that the broken lines indicate that the serpentine sidewall pattern continues uniformly throughout the circumference of the sidewall;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof, the rear elevational view being a mirror image thereof;

FIG. 3 is a side elevational view thereof, the opposite side elevational view being a mirror image thereof; and,

FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of a second embodiment thereof, the opposite side elevational view being a mirror image thereof and the front and rear elevational views being as shown in FIG. 2.

The broken line showings of sidewall surface indicia are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.
