The NAPA lifetime are made in Mexico, the cheaper are made in Asia.

You could go to your local GM dealer and pay $360 each.

Good to hear. I'm looking at ZR rated directionals, I wanna see if my local tire shop can match prices.

Totally true.

Also, for the record... do not re-use your hub nut on the axle. It's a one-use fastener. Not expensive, but there is thread stretch and these bearings rely on some pre-load from it. So, if you DO replace your hub bearings, replace that big hub nut, too.
