It will be interesting to see how long it takes to roll the first nose wheel tyre off the rim.
It is the approved BA procedure on the B777. The photographs I have seen of the manoeuvre, taken from outside the aircraft, were Boeing photographs.

The nosewheel is at maximium turn angle which is close to right-angles to the fuselage. We haven't rolled a tyre of the rim yet but we have only been doing it for twelve years or so.
