Regarding airliner tires and smoke, wouldn't some type of vane (?) or device that would make the tires spin forward prolong tire life since they would already be turning when they hit the runway? (hit the ground running - I amaze myself  )

The life of a tire is not just the thickness of the tread, but also its age. I wonder if more tires are placed because of age maintenance/schedule than actual wear and tear.
