Most modern fire support vehicles have a highly mobile 6x6 or 8x8 wheeled chassis. These vehicles are relatively light and have high speed and mobility on hard surface roads. Their armor protection is limited. In combat, these vehicles often exploit their mobility for shoot-and-scoot type attacks in order to avoid enemy fire.
Their main advantages over tanks are significantly lower production and operational costs. Also higher level of strategic and tactical mobility. So these can respond rapidly to various threats. Main battle tanks require heavy equipment transporters to relocate them if long distances are involved. So the fire support vehicles have comparable firepower to main battle tanks and in some cases can even supplement them. However, their mobility comes at a cost of limited armor protection.
