I purchased 2 of these belts because i have a situation where a 'normal' quality belt constantly squealed when I ran my car's A/C. I looked for the best belt i could find - and I thought this was it. The quality was up there which you would expect since this belt cost 3 times what an average 'walk into a parts store' belt did. While it did work better than the inexpensive belts, it did not totally fix my problem. It was better with less of a problem - so maybe you would find this item worth the extra cost. To me it wasn't.
