Wheel bearing repacking

OK, I did the 1 year, 12,000 miles wheel bearing repack. Took them out, looked at them and repacked and installed them. A real waist of time.....almost. You have to take the tires off to do this job and one of my tires was shot. I could not believe how bad off the tire was. Total tread failure. This is on my one year old Safari Sport. I bought it used and I'm getting it ready for our first trip out. This has the Goodyear Marathon tires. I was able to find a replacement tire and it was fixed today.
Here's the questions:
How often do you repack the bearings (if ever)?
Have you had trouble with the Goodyear Marathon?
Is there a better tire to use? (215 75 R14)
