I don't believe tread life would be affected with or without this procedure by any measurable degree . It is intended to relieve any binding/stiction caused by the forks being mis-aligned and get the best compliance in the fork action.
One more thing I thought about. When torqueing the axle pinch bolts, go back and forth between the two until you get no movement when torqueing. It might take 3-4 passes to get there.
