Current plans call for the Abrams to remain in service until 2025. My bets are we see the Abrams until at least 2040. The M1A2 SEP is being improved on. Most of the SA electronics for FCS is being retrofitted into the Abrams and also the Bradley. These two warhorses will be around for many years doing the jobs they are best at doing - Killing bad guys.
