It's been said on here before too... I would bet most pulley damage is done by a belt that is no longer in good condition, but still works. In my case the belt cover delaminated at around 40k on my `97-900s, but was still in good enough shape to run the car. Once the belt was replaced (<$75 at a dealer, it was very obvious that the pulley side was crazed and the slow dislodging of bits of belt was already happening. I would bet that the belt would have run another 5k, but it would have taken the pulleys surfaces out by then, and would likely be putting unequal pressure on the pulley, not helping the bearings much either.
