Question:
Talking about a mid-size car (Nissan Skyline) that does a moderate amount of driving both in cities and on the open road.
Bonus question: What do the ball bearings do?
Answers:
I never knew cars had ball bearings, maybe you are talking about wheel bearings, if it's front wheel drive you will hear the noise in your front wheels when they are bad and need replaced, a rear drive vehicle's wheel bearings need repacked when you have your brakes replaced. The wheel bearing is what the wheel rides on to allow the wheel to rotate on the axle spindle.

BALL BEARINGS/ROLLER BEARINGS SHOULD BE REPLACED IF THEY ARE NOISY ON TURNS,STRAIGHT AWAYS AND IF THEY HAVE EXCESS PLAY, THEY SHOULD LAST A VERY LONG TIME UNLESS YOU LIKE RIDING POT HOLES WITHIN THE CITY STREETS.
THEY JUST NEED TO BE MAINTAINED BY CHEMICAL CLEANING AND REPACKED WITH FRESH GREASE,THE ONLY ONE YOU DON'T MESS WITH IS THE HUB BEARING TYPE BECAUSE THEY ARE PERMANENTLY SEALED AND PUT TOGETHER.
THE BEARINGS JOB IS TO GIVE YOUR WHEELS ROTATION PRINCIPLES FROM YOUR AXLES TO YOUR RIMS TO KEEP THEM SECURED TO THE VEHICLE USING A HUB
