The rubber track pads make it easy to do on hard surfaces, without tearing up them up. In softer surfaces, it's easier for it to grab the track. With the twisting effect of a neutral steer, this could cause the bolts linking the track sections to break. The track pads don't help prevent this either. Those just helped protect the roads. There was a T-72 that was captured during the first Gulf war that was driven to a display location and the need for track pads was evident. The T-72 didn't have them and the road got chewed up pretty good.
