Default RE: wheel hubs

Depending on your field you may be better to run them dry.

Grease them and the grit will stick and cause more wear. If you have seals and can keep the grit out or are flying from a clean runway, then lubricate.

I believe the sand yacht guys used to run their bearings dry for this very reason, but I may be out of date on this.
