That Honda commercial leaves some doubt. I have a hard time to believe that there was sufficient energy in the system to make the tires with wheels climb the ramp. The rest is believable. But this is still my all time favorites Honda Commercial

I believe the explanation is that the tires were internally very heavily weighted on the forward side, and then balanced into position before the sequence was shot.

That might make it possible.

Happy Friday Mark.

I'd love to see the out-takes from that commercial, especially if they had the crew's "conversation" included.
