hard to say, officially top speed cross-country is:

M1A2- 48 km
T90s- 45 km
CR2- 40 km

but they may be deliberately misrepresenting their capabilities for security purposes.

max speed does not really mean anything on a tactical level, a tanker will never go fast over rough terrain and run the risk of bogging or throwing a track unless he has no other choice.

Here is a good site for general non-classified info on modern tanks:
