Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing my new tire tread design.

FIG. 2 is an end elevational view of the tire tread design shown in FIG. 1, taken in a direction perpendicular to the tire's axis of rotation; and,

FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of FIG. 2, taken in a direction parallel to the tire's axis of rotation.

The tread pattern is understood to repeat uniformly throughout the circumference of the tire, as shown in FIG. 3 and schematically in solid lines in FIGS. 1–2. The broken lines defining the sidewall, inner bead and the peripheral boundary between the claimed tire tread and the unclaimed sidewall depict environmental subject matter that forms no part of the claimed design.

Claims
