That was pretty cool, the only thing i question is that the tires roll uphill?

Yeah, it's pretty amazing what one can do with computer special effects today.

The tires are weighted.

The tires had weights inside that made them roll once nudged from direct top center.

This is an older commercial.....cool nevertheless.

I have this video on my hard drive. It's been there since 5/12/2003. Old stuff.

The video you are seeing was done in ONE shot. It took over 600 attempts to get it all to work in one take.

The tire rolling "up hill" is exactly as you see it.
The tire was filled with steel nuts that were all shifted into one section of the tire...conveniently placed at the top...so when it was nudged, the weight of the nuts pulled the tire forward.

Possibly, if they were weighted off center.
