Could have been but the TRI/TRE is in the other seat with duplicate controls.

Maybe this was a crosswind landing, and they landed the nose gear while cock-eyed before pushing straight with the rudder ?

(my added word; we don't ever land with max autobrake.)

I stand to be corrected but am fairly sure that Airbus FBW uses directional information from the ADIRS etc. to modify the auto-braking to stay straight. So tyres or brakes losing grip or whatever would not cause this sort of deviation.

It could have been a faulty reverser on the port engine maybe.
