Trailer tire dry rot prevention

I was always told to park on boards with carpet(if you can) and cover them.
From a site;
"Much of what is called "dry rot" is deterioration due to exposure to ultra violet (UV) radiation from the Sun. Keeping the bike out of direct sunlight, and or covered with a UV resistant cover will prolong tire life."

Get them off the ground and keep the sunlight off of them but the best thing to do is roll them. Tires have a lot of oil in them and rolling down the road heats the tire and evenly distributes the oil's inside the compound. I know, who has time to hook up the trailer and just drag it around every few weeks but that is the best way to keep them in good shape.

Is there a thread or post hall of fame?

From what I've heard, jack the trailer up and let some air out of the tires. That's the best way to prevent dry-rot.

My spare blew out this weekend and it was never used and under a cover since new. It made it about 20 miles before it blew and tore the fender off my trailer.
