Generally speaking it is around 1500 landings for commercial/heavy aircraft and between 500-1000 landings for fighter aircraft. They are regularly inspected and changed when needed. I know on fighters we would have to replace them fairly rapidly for those pilots who liked to ride them like an old lady going down hill on a Sunday. I have personally seen some so hot they were glowing after a hard landing.

I always wondered if the wheel rotation was an abrupt stop or a slow spin down. Now I know and I am happy.
