I have always been told front the back only. So they still roll in the same direction.

Well just to let you know I have never rotated my trailer tires, like someone said they dry crack first, and mine wear even.

US1 I think he is talking about a heavy foot wearing out the "tow" vehicles tires in a slightly uneven way.
