It takes a lot more force to keep treads rolling along than it takes to keep wheels rolling along. And they cause more wear on roads. So they're only used where they're absolutely needed.

Why don't cars use tank treads instead of wheels?
Tank treads can rip up pavement, especially when moving at high speed. The military does not care about this, especially when fighting a war and they usually drive where there are no paved roads. However car drivers, cities,, etc. really would prefer to leave the pavement intact, as repairing or replacing it is expensive.

Why the wheels used in tank are not use in day to day automobile cars?
Tanks use the caterpillar treads, drive sprockets and road wheels that allow tanks to travel across harsh terrain off-road (across ditches, through shallow water obstacles, on wet ground, over walls, over barbed wire fences, up or down steep slopes, etc.). These treads also better distribute the vehicle's weight on ground and decrease the pounds per square inch exerted on the ground. Automobiles do not need to do these things. Automobiles use tires on roadways that reduce friction, increase maximum speed & fuel economy. This drive system also causes less wear & tear to the vehicle and much less damage to roadways. A tank's drive train causes damage to roadways when the tank turns, because in turns the caterpillar treads on one side turn slower then the treads on the opposite side. This causes one set of treads (even with rubber pads) to scrape on the roadway. This is a particular problem for asphalt roads, because asphalt is softer than concrete. The sharper the turn, the worse the damage to the asphalt road. These are just a few things to consider.
