Personally, I wouldn't see the benefit on rotating the tires on a trailer, unless there was considerably more prounounced wear on one pair of tires. Rotating them under that circumstance, would prolong the time until they all wore out enough to replace them. Of course, you are going to have to put MANY miles on them to get to that point. I think father time is the biggest enemy, more than mileage-------until you get to the point of replacement on a trailer. The recommendation is to replace your trailer tires at least every 5 years, regardless of wear.
If you do see one axle wearing out tires faster than another, this can also be an indicator that the trailer isn't being pulled level, compared to your tow vehicle.
If the wear is more on the front axle, this might indicate that the trailer tongue is being towed too low, putting more weight on the forward axle.......while rear axle wear could indicate the trailer tongue is too high.
