I think it has more to do with weight than the treads. Roads are not constructed to handle the amount of weight of an M1 Abrams.

The pressure on each section of tread is way less than the pressure of a car's wheel. Next.
"They", being the leftist losers, want the parade to look ridiculous without armor. This is a way of making us look stupid by buying this lie.

“Roads are not constructed to handle the amount of weight of an M1 Abrams.”
The M1 Abrams is not more heavy than many freight on the roads. And it weight is spread on a much larger surface than any wheeled truck. So no.
Ironically, tanks are always hauled to operation theaters by... trucks which mean much harder stress on roads than if they move on their own track. Why, because have you seen the price tag and the miles per gallon of a tank?
So the idea that “Big, heavy tanks could tear up District of Columbia streets” is a stupid and ignorant lie. But what else do we expect from the lying media.
