Tire rotation.
I have always rotated the tires on our previous campers. I have also had the tires balanced. Is this something I need to continue with the new fifth-wheel?

Most trailer tires show very little wear, even high-milers, unless there's an issue with the axles or suspension. The only reason I can think of for rotating tires would be if you've scaled each wheel and you know you have a heavy side or a particularly heavy corner. As for balancing, =that= will cause severe tire wear if you've got an out of balance tire. I've seen a couple FWs going down the road where one wheel was bouncing badly enough to see daylight between the tire and the road. IMO, =anything= that rotates that fast needs balancing.
