Normally, not much, since the goal is land with zero drift in most conditions. The B747 is certified to land in a crab (sideways, if you like) on contaminated (slippery) runways. I've yet to try it, but I am a bit curious as to the effect on the tyres if you managed to find the one part of the runway with good traction for the touchdown.
