Question Tandem axle trailer: Do you rotate and balance your tires?

So is this important? Obviously one does this on your car and pickup. Is it the same with a boat trailer? I've heard some say yes, and others say no. Looking for some thoughts here.

Couldn't hurt, could extend tire life and make for a smoother ride, and better tracking trailer. We have a 35' triple axle trailer @ work, and the tires get this treatment.
