Aircraft tires are replaced on condition, but maingear tires usually last about 250 cycles. A 777 in longhaul usage might only get two cycles a day, so a set of tires would last about four months.

The 777 uses a 50x20.0r22 with 32ply rating. I couldn't find that exact tire but a similar one costs $4700 new. It is common practice to retread or remold worn tires after inspecting the carcass to ensure its serviceability, and these cost about half of new.

Oops forgot link.
How often is a tire replaced on a 777?
I wonder if Spirit Airlines uses Greyhound Bus retreads. Lol
