Narrative:
Uneventful approach and landing on runway 6L in ZZZ. First officer's landing. I took over taxi below 60 KTS. Taxied to the end to clear runway on the right. Although I felt I was slow enough for the turn; the nosewheel started to skid on the wet pavement (rain had just passed over the field). I braked aggressively; the aircraft turned; and we were able to clear the runway and cross runway 6R. The reils had disappeared from my view during the turn; so after clearing the runways; I elected to have airport personnel check our left main and nose tires; and the reils for damage. They found none; so we taxied to the gate. The first officer had noted that on takeoff and landing; the aircraft acted as if it had a more aft center of gravity than normal. The nose popped up quickly on takeoff; and he said he had to apply more than normal forward pressure on the yoke during rollout. We suspected this; along with a wet pavement; might have something to do with the skidding of the nose gear; so we requested that the cargo personnel do an offload check to verify the loading. We checked the gear and tires after parking and found no damage.

Title: A LNDG B767-300 CREW EXPERIENCED A SKIDDING NOSE WHEEL DURING A TURN TO EXIT A WET RWY. CREW SUSPECTED AN AFT CG CONTRIBUTED TO THE CTL LOSS.
Narrative: UNEVENTFUL APCH AND LNDG ON RWY 6L IN ZZZ. FO'S LNDG. I TOOK OVER TAXI BELOW 60 KTS. TAXIED TO THE END TO CLR RWY ON THE R. ALTHOUGH I FELT I WAS SLOW ENOUGH FOR THE TURN; THE NOSEWHEEL STARTED TO SKID ON THE WET PAVEMENT (RAIN HAD JUST PASSED OVER THE FIELD). I BRAKED AGGRESSIVELY; THE ACFT TURNED; AND WE WERE ABLE TO CLR THE RWY AND CROSS RWY 6R. THE REILS HAD DISAPPEARED FROM MY VIEW DURING THE TURN; SO AFTER CLRING THE RWYS; I ELECTED TO HAVE ARPT PERSONNEL CHK OUR L MAIN AND NOSE TIRES; AND THE REILS FOR DAMAGE. THEY FOUND NONE; SO WE TAXIED TO THE GATE. THE FO HAD NOTED THAT ON TKOF AND LNDG; THE ACFT ACTED AS IF IT HAD A MORE AFT CTR OF GRAVITY THAN NORMAL. THE NOSE POPPED UP QUICKLY ON TKOF; AND HE SAID HE HAD TO APPLY MORE THAN NORMAL FORWARD PRESSURE ON THE YOKE DURING ROLLOUT. WE SUSPECTED THIS; ALONG WITH A WET PAVEMENT; MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SKIDDING OF THE NOSE GEAR; SO WE REQUESTED THAT THE CARGO PERSONNEL DO AN OFFLOAD CHK TO VERIFY THE LOADING. WE CHKED THE GEAR AND TIRES AFTER PARKING AND FOUND NO DAMAGE.
