Tire pattern (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'tire pattern' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tread that I've seen before include "Grooves on tyre" , "Put one's foot down!" , "Sole of a shoe" , "Walk or step like pattern on tyre" , "Walk along" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, the Newsday, the Penny Press, the LA Times, The New York Times and The Star Tribune.
