How much longer should I expect before they go bang And what should I replace them with
 
Have Galaxy tyres on a Case skid steer, 300 hours and they are down a bit. Galaxy XD2010. Got 800 hours out of Galaxy Beefy Baby tyres on last skid steer then onto Michelins [about a grand for four]machine went with 400 hours on those tyres and yes they were down a bit.
Mine are 12 x16.5 size another factor can be the balance of the machine. When loaded 60% of the weight should be on the front wheels,empty 60% on the back wheels so all four tyres aren't gripping equally. Ideally they need to be unbalanced for sliding round and not gripping equally and grabbing and hopping.
