The weights and proportion per gear are measured at "rest". An airplane traveling at > 130 knots and bouncing along....the actual weight and proportion per gear is more determined by the flight controls and terrain.
Interesting is a plane that is 85% flying....and would leave such dark/deep tracks in hard and dry ground. Is this what it would look like if spoilers were out and ground brakes locked?
