   I was just about to write that my guess would be that axle’s 1,2, & 4 all steer when I noticed that neither of the warning beacons on the cab have shafts running down from them, that could be used to steer. Now it could be that the steering is controlled by a spare wheel mounted on the rear, which is a great solution, but where would that leave space for the control for the outriggers? It must have a control for that.

Maybe their wasn’t room, maybe they thought so many technic models had steering that it had been done to death?

Indeed I see no steering control. I hope there is some steering mechanism! But there is not much clearance between wheels.

   Also, is that another new tyre? I don’t know where lego find the money to keep endlessly designing new tyres.

No, these are the same wheels/tyres as 8436 truck (and good old Barcode set)

I hope the steering is there (and it is as it should be, operated by the steering wheel, and not the exclusive headlight on top). (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
