I realize that this idea is weird but here goes. I know that you can make cheap intercooler sprayers with sprinkler parts fron Home Depot. Why not put them in the rear wheel wells to spray water on the tires on demand? Wouldn't this cut down on tire use?

Well, you know how easy and quieter it is to slide in the rain, I was thinking about using the sprayers to wet the ground directly in front of the tires to induce the loss of grip.

stop driving so much
It's like asking the question "How can I get 30mpg from a 300hp engine?"

Unless you can spray down enough water to make the pavement soaking and not just wet you're not gonna get any difference. That will take more than just one sprayer per wheel, and a pump to force it out. Pumps are usually heavy. Also, unless you fill your trunk with water you won't have enough to go for very long.
In theory it's a good idea, but to get it to work will be nearly impossible.
