Will it make any difference having been stretched to the same length after
a few months on the pulleys under pressure? They'll both end up the same
length in the end....stretched to fit.


Since you didn't read ( don't agree with) the last part of my original post,
I will cut and past it he

"Something that these auto parts people don't seem to understand, is the
belt
wear that results for unmatched belts. These guy incorrectly assumed that
the tighter belt would wear faster and eventually both belt would carry the
load. While, in fact, (as I understand it) the looser of the 2 belts wear
due to it's slippage and just get larger due to this wear and never carries
it's share of the load. "
