Wide tire tread
Latest Michelin Recherche et Technique S.A. Patents:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wide tire tread showing my new design, it being understood that a tread pattern is repeated over the outer circumference and shoulder of the tire tread, the opposite side being the same as that illustrated;
FIG. 2 is a enlarged fragmentary front elevation view of the tread pattern of FIG. 1 showing my new design for the wide tire tread; and,
FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevation view of another embodiment of a wide tire tread showing my new design, it being understood that the perspective view thereof is substantially identical to that of FIG. 1, the only difference being the appearance of the two innermost and two outermost circumferential grooves, and that the tread pattern is repeated over the outer circumference and shoulder of the tire tread, the opposite side being the same as that illustrated.
The broken line showing of a tire sidewall and inner bead is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.
In the drawings, the dark stippled shading in the groove area the tread surface represents the recessed portion of the tread grooves, having a depth and configuration as best shown at the top and bottom boundaries of FIGS. 2 and 3.
