Tank tracks with varying usage

Tank treads. many people actually want them, including me. Because of that I have an idea for them.

I have an idea for three tank tread types, each with varying usages, with each their own pros and cons. Long distance, rough terrain, and race/high speed.

Long distance, being the most energy efficient, but is rather slow, but is built for travelling long distances at an average pace for long periods of time.

Rough terrain would be far more jagged, built for gripping and pulling on rocky surfaces, which can help for climbing rocky slopes that aren't ridiculously steep. These tank tracks can also help with mining operations using grounded vehicles rather than flying vehicles which could be beneficial for on planet mining where gravity would drain the energy from an airborne vehicle. But they are very slow, the plus side is that they are very powerful and grab onto rocks very easily with jagged teeth built to grip into the rock.

Race/high speed using specialized treading made out of the same materials as the wheel so they don't break at the joints like the other counterparts, This is built for high speeds across flat surfaces and light hills. They are good for very high speeds, but drain power quite quickly and can't grip very well. best if ran on solid ground, like dirt or rock, mud and sand will only cause you to throw up dirt and dust as they spin helplessly, only way to get them to work in sand is to move slow with them so they can at least get a grip.
