That was amazing, the team who created that are some very talented individuals. Talk about a test of patience...sheesh :p

Ya know you have to have your tired balanced... if they were unbalanced, they should be able to roll uphill at least slightly
assuming a great weight was at the top of each tire, and when it was touched the weight would slightly offset itself, pulling the ire on around by force of gravity... I don't know how possible it is in this case, but ya know it can happen on a level surface with a slightly staggered balance.

On the site with the clip they have some news storys about it too, I shall quote for you *click*

At one point three tyres, amazingly, roll uphill. They do so because inside they have been weighted with bolts and screws which have been positioned with fingertip care so that the slightest kiss of kinetic energy pushes them over, onward and, yes, upward
