Those triple axle trailers do a lot of "skidding" on the back two sets of tires. Imagine how much those very rear tires are flexing in a tight turn.Those sidewalls must be feeling some awful pain, being maxed out like that...over and over.
Going down the road, it's rare to have them "skidding" sideways. Turns at speed are rarely that sharp and any flex is almost immediately released as the tire keeps rolling.
Low speed parking lot work, it's really not stressing them very much relative to hitting a pot hole at 70mph.
