One of the great things about tandem axle trailers is that in the event a wheel fails you have three other ones to keep you from being totally stranded.
If you have three good wheels on your trailer and don't have far to go you would be fine to limp to a repair shop. Be sure to have as much cargo out of the trailer as possible so that you don't exceed weight capacity of the single tire.
