Outside my disciplines but some thoughts ..

(a) aircraft performance braking requirements are rather dramatic when compared to, say, motor vehicles

(b) the weight/complexity, reliability and certification considerations might just outweigh the benefits in reduced tyre wear

(c) does anyone have any data on the water film performance if one impacts a tyre at zero tangential speed delta onto a significantly wet runway ?

Also suggest you run a search in PPRuNe .. I am certain that I have seen this sort of question arise before ?
