Narrative:

Cleared to position and hold; I followed what I thought was yellow taxi line onto runway. Thought I was lined up just left of centerline lights -- maybe a little left of centerline. When cleared for takeoff corrected just a little right; thought I was hitting runway centerline lights but it seemed rougher. First officer said correct left; which I did. Roughness stopped and we rotated. Landing was smooth but got rougher on rollout. It turns out that I had lined up just left of runway edge lights at san diego and we struck some. On landing we lost both right main tires but did no other damage as far as I know. Called company; asked them to call san tower and sent safety report into company. Supplemental information from acn 713512: during takeoff roll runway 27 san; the PIC let the airplane veer too far to the right hitting runway edge lights. I think part of the problem was that the runway centerline lights were notamed OTS. It can be confusing at the runway entry point on the north side of runway 27 because of the large amount of pavement and lighting in that area.

Title: C750 CREW HITS RWY EDGE LIGHTS DURING TKOF ROLL.

Narrative: CLRED TO POS AND HOLD; I FOLLOWED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS YELLOW TAXI LINE ONTO RWY. THOUGHT I WAS LINED UP JUST L OF CTRLINE LIGHTS -- MAYBE A LITTLE L OF CTRLINE. WHEN CLRED FOR TKOF CORRECTED JUST A LITTLE R; THOUGHT I WAS HITTING RWY CTRLINE LIGHTS BUT IT SEEMED ROUGHER. FO SAID CORRECT L; WHICH I DID. ROUGHNESS STOPPED AND WE ROTATED. LNDG WAS SMOOTH BUT GOT ROUGHER ON ROLLOUT. IT TURNS OUT THAT I HAD LINED UP JUST L OF RWY EDGE LIGHTS AT SAN DIEGO AND WE STRUCK SOME. ON LNDG WE LOST BOTH R MAIN TIRES BUT DID NO OTHER DAMAGE AS FAR AS I KNOW. CALLED COMPANY; ASKED THEM TO CALL SAN TWR AND SENT SAFETY RPT INTO COMPANY. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 713512: DURING TKOF ROLL RWY 27 SAN; THE PIC LET THE AIRPLANE VEER TOO FAR TO THE R HITTING RWY EDGE LIGHTS. I THINK PART OF THE PROB WAS THAT THE RWY CTRLINE LIGHTS WERE NOTAMED OTS. IT CAN BE CONFUSING AT THE RWY ENTRY POINT ON THE N SIDE OF RWY 27 BECAUSE OF THE LARGE AMOUNT OF PAVEMENT AND LIGHTING IN THAT AREA.
