Default Timing belt change question

I did my belts and rollers 3 years and 13k miles ago.

I am getting ready to do them again.

What do you guys think about changing just the belts and not the rollers?

I'd recommend spinning the rollers to see if they are loose, running on or noisy. I can't imagine the rollers would be an issue at this point, however.

Agreed. Change just the belt, but feel the rollers and evaluate them.

Mileage is low but since you're in there why skimp.

I'd change everything, if it were my car.

Plan to replace the TB tensioner pulley (on the end of the spring tension arm), it sees the most stress of any of them and almost always makes noise when i do my belts. I would check the other ones but they are likely to be good. I'm pretty comfortable with this, that said, if your not wanting to go back in anytime soon, you would replace them all.
