Do you put a lot of miles on your car? Mine is a daily but I really only drive 2-3 times a week on average. My car mostly sees road trips and I'm planning to start tracking the car this year. Hopefully with my use case, these should fit right in!

I don't, and I don't plan on tracking. This was primarily for wheel/tire fitment. I primarily drive in nice weather and never in snow (I only have 1 set of wheels with summer tires). I only put on about 5000 miles per year.
The bearing life all depends on your driving habits. More miles, more potholes, etc. will mean less life. I'm confident in these though, because others that I've had in the past have made metallic noises almost immediately. i was pleasantly surprised to have no noise on the Millway plates. That tells me right away that they're built properly.
And like I said, I have no problem if I have to replace the bearing every few years to keep it noise free. $60 is a no brainer.
