When should I actually replace the timing belt?

Some places online say every 100k miles. Wondering what y'all would have to say.

Got the Tobi at about 90k and I've put almost 100k on it. Pretty sure the dealer didn't replace it.

If they didn't I think you're due. Wonder if the dealer would have records. If it goes, you will have bent valves. But at 190K it may be ready for the scrapyard anyway. Your call.

In the USA the recommended interval is 100,000 miles.

The rest of the world is 60,000 miles using the same parts!

For peace of mind 100,000 is as far as I would ever go.
