Like all wheeled armoured vehicles, the LAV III's <a href="/wiki/Ground_pressure" title="Ground pressure">ground pressure</a> is inherently higher than a tracked vehicle with a comparable weight. This is because tires will have less surface area in contact with the ground when compared to a tracked vehicle. Higher ground pressure results in an increased likelihood of sinking into soft terrain such as mud, snow and sand, leading to the vehicle becoming stuck. The lower ground pressure and improved traction offered by tracked vehicles also gives them an advantage over vehicles like the LAV III when it comes to managing slopes, trenches, and other obstacles. </p><p>The LAV III can somewhat compensate for these effects by deflating its tires slightly, meaning that the surface area in contact with the ground increases, and the ground pressure is slightly lowered. </p><p>However, wheels offer several advantages over tracked vehicles, including lower maintenance for both the vehicle and road infrastructure, quieter movement for improved stealth, greater speed over good terrain, and higher ground clearance. Wheeled vehicle crews are also more likely to survive mine or IED attacks than the crew of a similarly armoured tracked vehicle. </p><p>The LAV III's turret gives the vehicle a higher centre of gravity than the vehicle was initially designed for. This has led to concerns that the vehicle is more likely to roll over on uneven terrain. </p><p>While there have been several recorded rollovers (about 16),<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the most common cause was found to be unstable terrain, specifically road shoulders unexpectedly giving away beneath the vehicle.<sup id="cite_ref-CASR_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CASR-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The weight balance of the LAV III is taken into consideration during driver training, largely mitigating the chances of a rollover. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Protection">Protection</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=LAV_III&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Protection"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The basic armour of the LAV III, covering the Standardization Agreement <a href="/wiki/STANAG_4569" title="STANAG 4569">STANAG 4569</a> level III, which provides all-round protection against <a href="/wiki/7.62%C3%9751mm_NATO" title="7.62×51mm NATO">7.62×51mm NATO</a> small calibre rounds.
