The M1A1 has a maximum road speed of 72.4 km/h (46mph)
Conversion factor: kilometers ÷ 1.609 = miles
A main battle tank is designed to be very mobile and able to tackle most types of terrain. Its wide tracks disperse the heavy weight of the vehicle over a large area, resulting in a specific ground pressure that might be lower than that of a man's foot. The types of terrain that do pose a problem are usually extremely soft ground such as swamps, or rocky terrain scattered with large boulders. In "normal" terrain, a tank can be expected to travel at about 30 to 50 km/h.
HOOAH

63 MPH on flat highway. Depends on the terrain after that, the Abrams has a beast of a gas turbine engine and an Allison transmission to get all that power to the tracks, its a tank with quite a bit of get up and go.
