After 200k on the clock my passenger side bearing has some play. I assume if I wheeled more often and had tires bigger than 31s and less backspacing they probably won't last that long. It sounds like amadeus3 is the only one talking about changing them frequently.
I used $60 AutoXtra unit bearings with 35s.
You HAVE to torque the nut to the correct spec (~175 lb ft) or else the bearings WILL wear out prematurely. I had those bearings on there for about 6-7 months and they were JUST starting to develop some play when I pulled the D30 out.
Yeah, I haven't read all the bearing threads on here so I don't know if they give a good idea of what factors make bearing fail when. Really I think the backspacing and wheel width matter the most though because tire size alone doesn't affect the direction of the force on the bearing. So I would expect 33x10.50s and 15x8s to last longer than someone with 15x10s and 33x12.50s.
Edit: Not sure what "NON bearing load free" means.
