Not directly associated with landing weights but then again heavier might help up to a point when slippery if what follows is true ... I was somewhat informally taught by ex military that in potential hydroplaning conditions a "heavy even if a bit uncomfortable" arrival was SOP because it was doubly useful to cause the tyres to break through the surface water & initiate spin-up & traction, and to get positive WoW at earliest opportunity.
Certainly from basic mechanics I would assume that if there is any missing friction force on touchdown, then there is also a missing WoW vector component. I couldn't put a magnitude on it.
I imagine some of this is formalised in type training?
