Most tanks use rubber pads on the track to provide
traction and reduce the wear and tear on the road
surfaces. I rode my M-60A1 all over Bavaria on the
Autobahn and the local roads and really never did much
damage to the roads anyway. Farmer's fields were a
different matter, but that is another story...

Part of the operator maintence on the M-60 was to
examine the rubber pads for wear and to replace them
as needed.
