I don't know about the wear and tear, but it's irritating having some clever sod hit every taxiway and centreline light. But why do you do it though? It's not as if every light is actually in the centre or that the paint is even in the middle. Close enough is good enough and you won't measurably affect safety by offsetting your groundtrack by 300mm or so. However, you will give everybody a better ride and reduce cockpit stress.
