Default New Bearing Gone Bad TWICE!! Help!

Replaced My Front Driver side bearing twice in the last month on my 1993 civic DX . Bearings were semi cheap bearings. They were about 45$ each. I installed them myself but was done professionally with a 20 Tonn press.

Anyone have any ideas what could be causing the bearing to go bad so quick? I’m guessing its vibration in the axle or the tire but I’m not 100% sure. Could also just be bad luck with chepo bearings but because the passenger side seems fine I figured it must be something else. Any Ideas??

I strongly doubt its Tire Vibration

Just my 2 cents. maybe the hub is damaged/out of round, or the press isn't pressing the bearings in square.
