Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire tread showing my new design, it being understood that the pattern is repeated uniformly throughout the circumference of the tread;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof; a top plan view thereof is identical to the front elevational view; a rear elevational view thereof is a mirror image of the front elevational view; and a bottom plan view thereof is a mirror image of the front elevational view;

FIG. 3 is a right side view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a left side view thereof;

FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary view from upper 5-5 to lower 5-5 in FIG. 2; and,

FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line 6-6 of FIG. 2 showing the depths of the grooves.

Except for the four circumferential grooves, best seen in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 6; it is understood that all design features of the tread and shoulder ribs are flat and coplanar.

The broken lines illustrate environmental subject matter only and form no part of the claimed design. The dash-dot-dash broken lines define the boundary of the tire tread and form no part of the claimed design. Surface shading lines and stippling form no part of the claimed design.
