Hi PENKO
Full traction of the tires.
I don't think so.
At time 30 secs, the nose wheel is tracking the centreline with the left main gear on the centreline. The main wheels are therefore displaced downwind by 2.86m. The distance between main wheels and nose wheels is 15.6m, therefore the aircraft is crabbed by about 11 degrees. (http://www.boeing.com/assets/pdf/com.../acaps/737.pdf

Since the aircraft is approaching VR with the ground spoilers not deployed, then the wing is generating some lift (left wing is rising despite left aileron and some spoiler). The load on the tyres must less than the weight of the aircraft and the tyres must be slipping.
