Maybe tank isn’t the right word, but I swear I’ve seen vehicles with big guns with wheels. Why would you pick one over the other?

To add to what other people said, tracked vehicle need more logistical support than wheeled vehicle. They need heavier maintenance since there is more metal on metal friction, it’s a lot more work to replace tracks than wheels, track vehicle are harder to recover if they have issues with their tracks while wheeled vehicle might still be able to move or will be easier to tow.
Tracked vehicle also need heavier transport support. You can drive a wheeled APC on roads on the other side of the country, if you try to do that with a tracked vehicle it will probably break on the way and you will destroy a bunch of road, which isn’t really an option. You going to need big ass truck or a train to transport your vehicle.
