Tanks are very heavy vehicles, and need their tracks to spread their weight on the ground. This helps them travel over soft ground without sinking in too deeply. The metal tank tracks are also less likely to be damaged by gun fire, which would soon puncture pneumatic tyres.

Which is better Steel or aluminum dive tanks?
Steel has been used as a tank material since the begining of scuba diving. Extremely durable and useful as a tank material but steel rusts. Buy a steel tank, assume that over the life of the tank it will cost you for a few tank tumbles to remove interior rust. Pay more for a steel tank than an aluminum one. Steel will last (almost) forever if you take care of it. There are steel tanks still in service today that were originally manufactured in the 50s. Aluminium tanks came out in the 70s. It's a softer material, the walls of aluminum tanks are thicker, making them a little larger than steel tanks of the same capacity. The big advantage of aluminum is that it doesn't rust and it's less-expensive than steel. You can find aluminum tanks cheap, for $100-150.
