Back in the 50’s the Army National Guard had a tank in a University of Florida Homecoming Parade. My uncle drove it. I don’t believe it tore up the road.

That would have been a leftover Ww2 Sherman or Pershing at the heaviest - about 46 short tons weight. About what a good old long average semi weighs.

The M1A2 SEP V3 is *over* 70 short tons. The heaviest regular semi legally allowed on US highways is only 53 tons and there are places it is not allowed for fear it will destroy the roads and bridges.
