R-1200RT LC front wheel bearings
I have 45,000 miles on my 2016 RT and need another set of tires soon. Should I be thinking about a new set of front wheel bearings while the wheel is off? How many miles should you get on a BMW > I am an old Harley guy and had a few front wheel bearing failures. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

How long is a piece of string ?
Wheel bearings could last from 1000 miles to 200,000 miles .... depending on all sorts of things (one thing most are allergic to is pressure washing)
I have never done preventative replacement of a wheel bearing ...... but do check on a regular basis
(that would be a no from me)

I agree. There's no fixed life on these. Just keep checking and keep the pressure washer away.
