Just curious, how many miles do sealed rear wheel bearings generally last?

They last until they fail. There's no real predictable mileage.

Bearing life is closely related to bearing operation speed and load.

Axle shft bearing life will be much longer when used in a light vehicle, doing low speed "around town" driving.

Counter-point, fill the vehicle's trunk full of heavy stuff and "hit the highway" for some high speed travel... and axle bearing wear increases signifacantly.

Bottomline, when they start to "rumble", it is time to change them.

That reminds me of the country song, "If the whiskey don't kill me, I'll live till I die."
