50K miles ago, I put on Dayco brand belts and they were a bit noisy from day one despite proper pulley alignment and correct tension. Anyway, I'm digging into a timing belt swap and found the accessory belts to be glazed and cracked.

I'm not complaining about a 50K mile belt life, I'm just curious if others have used longer lasting belts or have a suggestion on a better supplier.

Thanks in advance!

ps. The timing belt is dry (no oil) and no signs of cracks but the tensioner was a few K away from blowing apart.
