I see ab-so-lu-te-ly nothing wrong with that video.*
There is no tire slip.
And I'm almost sure that it wasn't even near the limits.
As a passenger you would have felt some rocking and rolling along the runway, not much else. Certainly no scratching and scrapping tires.

If this benign takeoff video gives rise to concern, then better don't watch the landing videos!
As someone posted before, the telelens distorts what is really happening. The plane is hurtling at more than 200 kilometers per hour down the runway but all you see is a plane 'sliding' left and right from behind.


(*other than maybe a tad too much into wind aileron+spoilers, but that's a different story)
