There has to be something wrong here. My (european) manual says 120.000 kmīs
for the t-belt. If they just put "miles" instead of "kmīs" inthere, when
they translated it....then im gonna be ROFLīing very soon!
The timing-belt are normally (referring to the manual) changed at 120.000
kmīs. But we all know (inhere) that this is too high a mileage - so most
change it at around 80-90.000 kmīs. The risk of the belt snapping is simply
too high, if you wait the suggested 120.000 kmīs.
