I don't think tire scrub is big issue.
I park my boat on T-shaped driveway and at some point I had 2-axle trailer pushed at close to 90 degree. Now I have pretty clear rubber scrubbing marks on my driveway, but I am not worry about tire life.
Boat trailer tires in 99% of occasion are replaced due to age, not wear.
I don't think it is as big of an issue as some are making it out but it is definatly more of an issue than a pull behind two axel trailer. because they are conected to the truck with no pivioting ability every time you turn it will force sideways pressure onto thoes tires so the lateral load may not be as hard as jack knifing a double axel trailer into a camp spot, but it will be way more often.
what I would be concerned about more is if it has some sort of verticle movment weather it be spring loaded or hydraulic.. I dont go 4x4ing but I do take some uneven roads to get into some sites and that would be a lot of stress on the unit if it was suporting the whole back end of the truck through a dip.
