When the landing gear is lowered there is no mechanism on the aircraft to get the wheels spinning before touchdown. The wheels may spin a little due to the flow of air over them but they may even be turning very slowly in the opposite direction to that at touchdown!
Interestingly the grip of the main wheels on touchdown with the runway can affect the feel of the landing. When you land on a dry and `grippy` surface the touchdown may feel harder as the wheels will grip the runway on touchdown and the rotational forces that are required to get the wheels turning will cause a rotational force on the aircraft that will pull the nose of the aircraft down slightly which might cause the nosewheel to touchdown harder than on a normal day, thus making the `second` touchdown feel harsher.

Why do planes land with their wheels not spinning?
Why would the wheels spin? They are not connected to the engines. There's no driveshaft or chain or gears to power the wheels. They are free-rolling wheels. The engines push air backward and push the plane forward, but the engines don't drive the landing gear except to raise or lower it if the plane has retractable landing gear. Do you think the wind should make them spin? Most aircraft have the wheels fully exposed to the air, both the top of the wheel and the bottom of it. So the wind won't blow harder on one side or the other. There were some experiments with using the air to spin the wheels in preparation for landing. The theory was that this would stop big patches of rubber from being worn off the tires when they (not moving) suddenly hit the runway at high speeds. That kind of stress can sometimes make a tire blow out, which can make the aircraft hard to steer and easy to crash on the runway. But the problem was that this made landings take up too much runway. Big aircraft actually need that sudden drag on touchdown to help plant them on the pavement and begin lowering their nose.
What is the probability of one spin landing on the white area and one spin landing on the black area?
1/3
How do you heat the clutch in a kart before a race?
spin the rear wheels and use a heat gun on the chain
TV's Knots Landing was a spin off of Dynasty?
False - It was a spin off of Dallas

So your wheels spin.(;
Do die cast wheels spin?
Yes.
Why does a car move forward while traveling on a road even though its wheels are equipped to spin backwards?
The wheels only appear to spin backwards.

What is a anxle?
An axle is what connects the wheels to make them spin.
What was the spin off to Dallas?
Falcon Crest...I think
Auto 4x4 what for?
If the back wheels slip / spin it automatically will transfer some of the power to the front wheels
What is the probability of landing on ta space in Wheel of Fortune?
100% when you spin the spin it stops on a space. The odds of landing on a certain space are controlled by your spin. You may not hit the $5,000 but you can spin to be closer to it than the average odds and cut the odds down to less than 1 in 10 or even 1 in 5
