Sorry, I do not have an aircraft ...
:(
But I can well imagine.

Sorry, this is what I meant.
By doing what you explained the vehicle will twist around its longitudinal 
axis. This will mostly not change the weight force on the nose wheel. So this 
one will stay fixed. What changes is the weight force on the other two wheels 
which will loose static friction for a short time. And when you apply a 
little side force during this time the aircraft will move. The nose wheel is 
fixed by static friction, thus the ac moves around the nosewheel ...

The more I think about that, the more I can imagine that even that is in the 
Pacejka formula. Not with the real physical reason, but I can well imagine 
that it will just behave like that ...
I am not shure how big the influence of the gear strut dynamics is in this 
case...

Let's see ...
I have to push this stuff I have now to Jon first ...
