Those are good belts - not sure they're any better than OEM though.

The Goodyears cost a couple bucks more but if it's more convenient for you, I say go for it!

Just be certain you have the correct size. I think you're looking at #GTR-4060835 - 83.50 in. Length, is that what you have?

Be sure, compare it to the old belt - it should be very slightly smaller than the old one due to stretching - there is no pre-tension adjustment available, so it has to match.

Also compare the belt profile to make sure it will ride properly on the pulleys.
