I know the answer is "it depends", but let's say you are in a regular
light airplane (C152, C172 ...) with "real" aircraft tires and you do
normal landings without excessive load, speed or crosswind. It will
still depend on the surface of the runway, but generally, is the
number more on the order of 10s of landings (change rather often),
100s of landings (maybe get through one busy flying season with one
set) or 1000s of landings (last forever until aging kicks in)?

When I bought the plane, the main tires were used (central stripe gone
but no sign of canvas). It had done 440 landings.

In about 14 months I have put around 170 landings on the new mains (the
nose wheel is still the orginal of 1992 vintage). I can't see any marks
of use on the exception that the little 'barbs' of rubber are gone.

However I fly mostly from and to grass strips and since I saw the
thickness and price of new brakepads, I keep a sharp look at landing
speed (1.2 x Vstall) and stopped braking :-)

Cheerio!
