the pulleys also wear out - the V belt type pulley should allow the belt to sit slightly proud of the pulley and the belt should be correct dimension - the chinese belts branded as sail, paagal, ding dong are the worst in quality.
Always use correct branded belts and clean the pulleys with carb cleaner and soap thoroughly and check the pulleys themselves for broadening (can happen after 200,000 kms), tighten correctly when new and retighten after 5000 kms to spec.
