The weight of the tank is distributed over a large area, exerting less pressure on the ground. Hence, the army tanks run on tracks.
Caterpillar tracks.
The machinegun and barbed wire were causing a stale-mate in WWI; tanks (being bullet proof and having tracks instead of wheels) were able to break that stale-mate.
The battle tanks have caterpillar tracks instead of tires because the tires cannot manage the weight of the tanks.When area increases pressure decreases .So when caterpillar tracks are used the pressure decreases and the battle tanks can move easily.
because the trench was thin and the tracks on the tanks were long the tanks simply rolled over them
Battle tanks use tracks to spread their weight on soft ground. Tanks weigh 40+ tons; If they used wheels they would often get stuck. It's the same reason earth moving equipment (bulldozers) use tracks.
Wood was never used in the construction of army tanks.
Tanks don't use tyres - they use steel caterpillar tracks.
Russia has 21,790 tanks and world s' largest tank army.

According to Nation Master, as of 2013 there were 662 main battle tanks in the Bangladeshi army.
Let's see, an army armed with spears vs an army armed with tanks. I'll take the tanks.
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.
