I just replaced a 5.5 year-old Delco battery in one of my cars. It
gave me plenty of warning that it was weakening. I've had other
batteries fail all at once. I can't complain about Delco but I put in
an Interstate battery as replacement.

OEM tires: bad to awful seems to be range for most cars. Replacement
tire costs factor into my car buying decisions.
