Default Rear Wheel Bearings

Anyone have experience with SKF brand replacement rear wheel bearings?
I do not race and have a fairly easy driving style.

Limited experience. I installed two earlier this year. They came from NAPA. Nicely machined and finished throughout. I paid about $400 for the pair.

I believe they're owned by Chicago Rawhide, the wheel seal company. Good, quality products. I've installed their bearings on tractor/trailers, school buses, cement mixers, etc. without any quality control issues.

Just buy AC/Delco OEM parts from www.corvetterecycling.com. The best quality, from the research I did before replacing mine, and by far the best price.

Last I checked they were $100 each, though I heard something about them raising prices a little while ago.
