    Bad seal, water leaked in. I replaced it and the bearing.

    No, I mean maybe has a slight influence but failing after 15k miles is all due to the water getting in there

    Gotcha. I wasn't sure what all might cause stuff like that.

    Usally bearing failure from what I understand is usally due to wear aka mileage or contamination.

    Without contamination, what kind of mileage do they usually get?

    Any added rotating mass does play a roll in premature wear. Think about it the engineers sized the bearings for a stock weight vehicle and rotating mass of wheel and tire and to last x amount of time before wearing out. Now you added more weight to the vehicle and a lot more rotating mass so that length of time before service will be shortened. How much you gotta plug that all into algorithms and equations to know roughly the loss of service time.

    This is 10000% correct. With that seal failure they don't last long at all I was going through them every couple of months when the seal on the axle and on the spindle weren't playing nice and I was getting dirt and water in them. Water is really the biggest killer of them.

    Wheel bearings in general are a 75k-100k mile item.

    Having large, out of balance tires is really bad for them.
