Default Trailer Tires when storring

Since I do not have the ability to put my 621 on heavy duty jack stands and take the weight completely off the tires when storing for the winter....what I have elected to do is jack up each side, one at a time, and rotate the tires a 1/4 turn every month for about 7 months. I do this along with charging my batteries every month.

Is there anyone else that does this rotation of tires during storage? Does it help "save" the tires....much better than just letting the boat sit on the four tires in one spot all winter?

I know getting 4 heavy duty jack stands and getting the weight off the tires the whole winter would be best (and if using jack stands...deflating the tires some) but wondering if what I am doing is a sound alternative.
