As it was described to me by my long-term Air Force/Boeing mechanic father, the gyroscopic forces of spinning up tires to combat this issue will cause more issues than are solved.

Airline tires are replaced due to wear %100 of the time, I have never seen an aircraft maintenance scheduled with a time life on the rubber based on calender, always cycles.
mot large aircraft have some type of spin up system, as does the one in that picture. It is not an exact match airspeed to ground speed, so you still smoke. That looks like pretty excessive smoke, the photographer may have caught a lower time pilot flat spotting the tires by having some brake applied at touch down, that happens all the time.

I am glad those are not a thong that big!

Even more important, what if those panties got bunched up!
