Tire tread
Latest Michelin Recherche et Technique S.A. Patents:
Description

FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevation view of the tire tread thereof of FIG. 1.
In the drawings, the dark stippled surface shading represents the recessed portion of the tread grooves, having a depth as best shown along the right edge of FIG. 1. The broken line disclosure of the tire sidewall and inner bead is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.
