This belt is very thin compared to previous belts I've purchased. It is barely 1/8 inch thick in total including the grooves. So the actual thickness of the solid part of the belt is even thinner. This belt is obviously made in China because of the obvious China smelling rubber.(smells like chemicals and not rubber) In all of my experience, the china rubber comes apart about 10 times faster than American made rubber products.
Good cheap price for a cheaply made product, if you need to save some money; or just keep it in the trunk in case your belt breaks during travel.
