Buy high quality ones, not the kind you get at the home centers, and use a belt dresser (rubber block) to clear the abrasive frequently. And yes, the heat will cause the adhesive to fail, but a lot also has to do with the amount of stress on the belt. In other words, don’t apply pressure or

I have the same problem. I think the heat softens the adhesive and they just come apart. The butt joint with about 1/2" of tape just doesn't cut it. I have been thinking to put some fiberglass sheetrock mesh tape on the back with some kind of flexible adhesive like shoegoo and see that

So for those who have owned/driven this model, I'm curious as to your impression of their performance since they're not turbocharged. Are they doggy in comparison to the turbo version? Do you have to drive them with your foot into the pedal? I love the performance of the OM603 in my W126.
