Default Kevlar timing belt

Has anyone tried one of these? They claim that they are like 5x stronger. Is the lifespan of these longer also?

I have seen two snapped t-belts in the 10 months ive put in at honda. One was an integra ls that had 130K on the original belt before it broke. Lucky bastard got away with putting new belts on, dont ask me how he didnt destroy his head.
The onther was an older prelude with like 165K on the original belt. He wasnt so lucky and bent at least three valves, ended up getting rid of the car.

The oem belts are some amazing pieces but they arent unbreakable. The two that broke were ran way past their intended lifespan of 90K and eventually gave out. However, i have seen cars come through with 200K+ on the original belt, not reccomended, but whatever floats your boat, its your car. Use an OEM belt
