Tank Socks. For tanks - sometimes it can seem rude, when you're annexing a nation, to spoil their roads in the process.

Baked. Called grousers.

So it is not a game in which you guide a sock across the screen, occasionally pausing to dig a hole to trap the baddies in?

They exist. Rubber treads for tracked vehicles are called roadable grousers. Widely known to exist.

Most grouser bars are steel or hardened alloy, for extra grip in wet and muddy conditions. They are fitted over the treads of a tracked vehicle, like snowchains.

Baked, then. "Grousers" is a cool name, but "Digger Socks" would have been cooler.
