Tyres don’t have infinite grip. We’re used to having all the grip available to retard the aircraft, but when a strong crosswind prevails during the rollout, a good amount of the grip is being used just to prevent the aircraft from drifting sideways.

So, there is reduced grip available to retard the aircraft. Wet runways, as we know, further reduce the grip.
