Since when does smoke come off the tires of a plane starting its
takeoff roll? I can't think of any way that could happen.

My post was only to show that it could and did happen based on my
experience.

I appreciate your input. Still, the key phrase in Paul's post is "starting
its takeoff roll". Even in your example, there's no suggestion that the
smoke occurs at the START of the takeoff roll, as described by the person
who started this thread.
