[Roadsters] belt problem

I usually use a wire brush and brakleen to get all the crap off the
pulleys, Dayco top cogs are the best belts I've found.  If the pulleys
are parallel, the only other problem may be the drive and driven pullys
are made for different width belts.  If you can't match pulley widths,
it may never be right.  You probably know this, but avoid excess belt
tension as it's hard on the waterpump bearings.

Hey all, being the topic at the moment is belts would someone please
tell me what the best type of belt would be to use for an A/C compressor
that currently has a smooth belt that screeches no matter how tight?
Teeth? Ribs? Coating? Brand?  BTW- the A/C is on my SRL311   - Thanks -
