I've been getting anywhere between 1000 and 2000 hours service from bias tires that run the road on a regular basis. The higher the load, the fewer the hours. The best advice I could give you is to get a decent set of radial tires when these are worn out, and inflate them according to their load chart. The radials will run smoother and last longer than the bias tires.
Presently I have a pair of Firestone Radial All Traction 23 degree's with about 2200 hours, and just past the 50% wear mark. That is more hours than I ever got from any bias on that tractor, and it's had a few sets of them. These radials have also been punished a good deal more than the bias ever were in terms of loading. Needless to say, I've been quite pleased with these tires. I also have a set of Michelin AgriBib's on another tractor, and some BFG power radials on another, which look much like the AgriBib. Not so many hours on those two, so we'll see. I do know that one way or another, I won't buy another bias drive tire if I can help it.
