Made with EPDM compound and reinforced tensile cords, this belt matches OEM rib profile and tolerances so it fits properly and resists heat, abrasion, and stretching. Bando supplies belts to major automakers and applies the same production standards to aftermarket parts, giving you a replacement belt that closely mirrors original equipment performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this belt differ from cheaper molded or generic belts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike belts formed purely from molds, the 6PK1255 has its ribs precision ground twice to replicate the exact OEM profile, which improves contact with pulleys and reduces slip.
