How many miles should I get out of my running shoes?

I'm a very large framed runner and I remember being told that you should get about 100 miles out of a good pair of running shoes for an average build. I am about 235 lbs. and I find my knees and back start to bother me after about 50 miles of usage. I wear Brooks Beast, which are supposed to be the best shoes for someone my size with flat feet. After I replace them, the knee pain and back pain subside again. Does this sound about right to you other runners out there? Just want to know because it is expensive to replace them every few months.

average is about 300-500 miles. the heavier you are the faster the cushion breaks down. I would recommend getting a different type of shoes 50 miles is way to short of a life span for running shoes. there are lots of running stores that have experts than can put you an a treadmill and analyse your running and give you ideas also I use wwwroandrunners.com there is a 800 number that you can call and talk to someone and they have a 30 day money back guarantee. If you evaluated the type of shoe you need by an on line gage, I have found those to be unreliable. maybe it's not the shoes that is causing the knee pain. trying treating your injury with ice an anti inflammatory and if that does not work ease off on the running until it has healed.
