Narrative:
Taxiing into position runway 20 had to make a hard left turn off of runway 31. Where the runways converged, the angle of the turn caused one tire to slightly cut the corner and momentarily touch dirt. No damage to aircraft tire or any airport facility observed. Continued rest of departure and flight normally. In the future I will better anticipate tracking of the main wheels behind the lead turn with the nose steering. Factors included fatigue, unfamiliar airport and runway, taxiway confign. Needed all of runway due to heavy weight.
