How often do you guys replace your belts if they don't shred? I had some tensioner issues awhile back that was fixed with the steel tensioner and since then I have had the same belt on the car. It is a gator back and my question is since it has been like 1 1/2 almost 2 years on the car should I replace the belt? The last time I had the belt off it went on real easy and I am thinking it might have stretched alittle. Do belts stretch without breaking?

Gator back belts are preferred by many. I had one on my P1 for over two years and 15k miles. If you dont have any belt dust, dry rot, or chunking it is probably in good shape. It will not stretch very much if any at all since it is thread lined inside.
