          Appeal No. 2002-0175                                                        
          Application No. 09/090,225                                                  

               We therefore reverse this rejection also.                              
               We note that the examiner relies upon Wyman and Gilbert for            
          teaching the use of polyethylene as the material for use in                 
          making tires.  These references do not cure the deficiencies                
          Hibbert in view of Conklin or Lee.                                          

          IV. Conclusion                                                              
            Each rejection is reversed.
