Steve is on it.
I pulled out my front wheel bearings before targa west last year and they had certainly got seriously hot and changed colour. It was just preventitive maintenance though.
I know the GTP racing boys used to have to change them between meets because they siezed but I think they were running on proper slicks and not even r specs.
IMHO you would never kill a set on the road (impacts aside) no matter how hard you drive it. If you are going to do tarmac rallies even I would not worry about it but simply program to change them every few years. It is not a particularly expensive exercise.
Having said that there is a mob (I think in Tassie) that will take your current hubs and machine them out to take the bigger bearings. Talk to Morgan AKA maddog as I am sure he has had his done.
