Look at the belt thickness and minimum pulley diameter. This is industrial belting. They rate that stuff to run continuously for years.
The PVC belting is slightly over 1/8" thick and is rated for 3 inch pulleys. You would probably need to fasten it every 2 to 4 inches to keep it straight at highway speeds.
