To your first point, the biggest threat to an MBT in 2000 would be availability of POL (Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants), followed by parts, fuel and ammo. I imagine you'd see more than a few MBT's abandoned (and destroyed in place by their crews), as they could no longer find parts, or lubricants, or ammo, or distill enough fuel, etc.
And Kato is right, the M1 is transported on the roads by the HET, and also via rail.
