All of these stories have been enlightening. But they all seem to have
the same thing in common so I have to ask. It seems like most of these
stories are occurring with tracked vehicles with the battle treads on
(raised metal bars that are perpendicular to the direction of travel) I
was wondering do they act the same way with the 'road' (rubber, if they
even exist and are used) treads?
Sorry, if this is a dumb question and I am way off with it, but I am
curious and figured some of you might know.

interested in the vehicles and history anyways)
