You can, buy why would you? I guess if you have a car tire on the rear you won't have to worry about creating a flat spot.

I am assuming you are talking about towing it further than down to the local mechanic.
 
Most trailer tires rot long before they show any treadwear.
If you never use them. Same is true for bikes, cars, bicycles, wheelbarrows, etc.

What does trailer tire wear have to do with the price of tea in China?

As far as a flat spot in the tire caused by towing, I believe towing across the country WILL cause a flat spot. It is much different than riding, because while being towed, the bike will never lean into corner. It will stay upright, putting all the wear in the center of the tread.
Ding, Ding, Ding! Give that man a kewpie doll! :D
