Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing our new pneumatic tire design.

FIG. 2 is an end elevational view of the pneumatic tire 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 schematically in solid lines.

In the drawings, the broken lines defining the sidewall, inner bead and the unclaimed sidewall depict environmental subject matter that forms no part of the claimed design. The dash-dot-dot-dash lines represent the peripheral boundary between the claimed tire tread and unclaimed sidewall.
