I understand the worst thing one can do to a trailer (ST) tire is to let it sit with weight on it. If it is going to sit for long periods of time, I'd suggest jacking the trailer up to take the load off the tires. Naturally it would need to be properly supported for storage.

Or, as I do, go out several times per storage season, use the levelers, lift each side and rotate each tire 1/4 turn and set it back down. I set my tires on a piece of heavy, flexible plastic (an old "sit on it on the snow and slide down the hill" thingy I cut up) to seperate them from the concrete.
