    Another overlooked thing is rotation. It will help prolong tire life.

    I agree 100%.
    I think it helps drastically to flip the tires from side to side and front axle to rear axle (X pattern) on new tires after about 25,000 miles. Depending on how your trailer wears tires, they’ll also need to be broken down and flipped from the inside wheel to the outside wheel at some point in the tire’s life.
