Pads on the tracks increase the surface area so yes they would help  
tremendously with ground pressure, track wear, and damage to  
pavement.  Running bare links would divot the road and probably tear  
it up when turning -- depending on how the vehicle in question turned  
on its tracks -- as well as wear the tracks links down.
