At the rate you're going, you should get roughly 3-6 years out of your output tubes. The driver tubes should last 2-3 times longer. It is hard to be more precise because some tubes last way longer than others, some gear is harder on tubes than other gear, etc. It also depends how picky you want to be about them being off their best performance. Some tubes, including even some output tubes, can be in service for 20 years or more without outright failure. Others, especially Chinese tubes of a few years ago, will blow up after a few months of use if you look at them cross-eyed.
