<p>Actually that is a bit of a let down.
For the record on the tires v tracks tires can suport more than 80 tons, think of all the heavy transport planes bombers that land on tires, and whilst combat vehicle tires are MG bullet resistant thay can be deflated by sustained fire. All that said the US army is developing a range of wheeled vehicles including several light tanks for rapid air deploment.
