Everette,

For what it's worth, the weight of a loaded M60A3 is 15 psi on the
tracks, per the manual.

The national guard unit here used to be tank unit they had M60s and the
state highway department asked them to stop putting them in parades
because of fear of what the weight would do to underground stuff in road
-- water, gas, etc. but was BS according to fellows who work for city.

They had rubber pads so did not damage road surface and I think highway
department was not smart enough to measure actual pressure per square
inch, my undeducted guess is that they would be less per square inch
than a loaded truck / trailer.
