A major problem with the Tigers was that its transmission was overburdened and prone to failure because of its massive weight.

Another problem was that if the Tiger driver ‘rotated’ the tank in place (one track forward, other track reversed) it would often bust a track. Not a fun thing to deal with in the midst of combat.

Neutral steers, what you're describing, could be a problem for the Tiger if the track broke. The Tiger I and II had two sets of tracks: 1) transport tracks (narrow for rail transport) and 2) combat tracks or wide tracks for combat. Changing from one to the other was not an easy or pleasant job, especially in lousy weather.

Also the Tiger I, Tiger II, and Elephant were so heavy that they could only be recovered by one of their own kind. Most recovery vehicles the Germans had could not budge them.

The Inter leaved road wheels also became a problem for both Tigers, Elephant, and Panther if: 1) they broke a torsion bar and had to remove the inter leaved road wheels to change one or 2) the inter leaved road wheels got packed with freezing mud.
