I got apx. 56,000 miles on the old tires, but I think it was mostly because of the cold/snowy winters in Upstate NY. No heat equals less friction and less tire wear. That's my guess. So I am hoping to get 45,000 miles out of these ones.
If your gonna go the route of getting a new bumper we do have a Vendor here on this site that sells aftermarket bumpers. Here is the link to Mike. Just send him a PM.

I have brand new autometer probe that you can have, all I ask is for the old one in exchange. Or you can call Autometer yourself and they will send you a new probe for free I believe. Here is what the new probe looks like.
I love my Honda Rincon. Here is what sold me on it, don't mind the rap music.
