How long do the belts really last? (3.0 V6)
I was surprised to see that the recommended interval for the accessory belt is 9 years or 160,000 miles!
Have you changed yours, and what’s the real world interval?
Same questions for the supercharger belt.
7 years but only 52,000 miles on my car.
I was thinking that having the belts off would be a good chance to check the water pump and all the pulleys for issues.

Belts need to be checked when the car is serviced. As long as the water pump isn't leaking and you have no cooling problems, then leave it alone. Pulleys rarely need to be replaced.
IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!
If you're just bored and looking for something to do, then change the air in the tires.
