Weird question I know but if one trailer wheel locked up on a vehicle doing 56
Mph how long do you reckon it would it last till it was down to canvas?

Probably depends on how much tread to begin with, but I’m guess, Not very long…5 mins?
Empty tandem axle low line curtain sider trailer doing the standard 70 mph of the time, dry road middle lane of M1 circa mid 80’s.
Snap, red line goes, 8 x 17" tyres lock solid and scrap by the time i’ve stopped on the hard shoulder, not down to canvas but threepenny bit shaped causing the most horrendous vibration.
Loaded if they locked i reckon you could take them below the canvas and blow them out by the time you stop from 55mph.
The black lines took about a month to vanish.

I had something similar happen on the M1 Northbound.The firm’s breakdown service fixed the problem that locked the trailer brakes.‘But’ what we didn’t know was that every tyre on the trailer was scrap ‘until’ it was back at the yard.
