Default Anyone Try This Before?

I am wondering if this has been done before. It probably has but thought I'd ask anyway.

You know the little ceramic or carbon wing skid disks that are installed out on the wing tips on the belly side to protect the wing tips from scrapes and gouges.

Has anyone put one on the underside of the nose of their jet so if and when the nose gear fails or does lock in place and the nose drags the asphalt or concrete and eats away at the fuse it will drag on the "skidz" instead of fiberglass?

It wouldn't have to stick out very far and it would seem like it would save the nose from being grated off by the landing surface.
