When looking at the results of abrasion tests, it is very important to remember one thing: the higher figures are indications of a greater surface rubber loss. The higher the figure, the bigger the loss. This means that resistance to abrasion is lower. On the other hand, a lower figure is an indication of better resistance to wear.

A single belt that has good abrasion resistance can usually perform much longer and more efficiently than say, 2 or even 3 “economy” belts of lower grade or quality.
