Rotating rear trike tires?

Maybe I’m the only one that didn’t know that rotating rear trike tires was a good idea, but here’s photo of my right tire versus left after 38k miles on my Freewheeler. Granted I like riding my M8 with the 22X torque cam pretty aggressively, but it looks like I could of gotten another 5 to 8k miles out of my tires if I had rotated them at about 20k miles? I keep my pressure at 22.5 psi for max comfort.

The good news is that I’ve been wanting to replace the stock Dunlop's with the Goodyear comfortred for a smoother ride for some time now, and I can’t wait to try out my new comfortreds out this weekend.

PS the comfortred are getting hard to find in the 15 inch. I live in Dallas but still had to go on-line to get mine from Simpletire.com

The tire on the right looks like center wear from too high PSI?

I put over 28K on my 17 Freewheeler before trading it with 22 PSI , the tires looked great with minimal wear

I have never likes Dunlop tires
 
I'm running 30 psi on my Road Smith Goldwing trike. Rides great Roadsmith says to run 26-30psi
