Default Re: Toe in dimension

I had horrible tire wear but the car tracked beautifully. A guy at a car show told me that the toe in was set too severe because of the cut of the tread. It was around 1/4"+

I set the toe-in 1/16-1/8" at the (front - rear) center of the wheels using a plywood device I made myself although I have seen better units built by other people.

The tire wear now after five years has been minimal but the car does wander on some roads and not others. I can't say it is the tire wear troughs that you can see on some roads like Tom mentions, but there are other roads that seem fine and the front end jumps around if you are not careful. Bumpy roads and gravel country roads, the car tracks perfectly fine.

That toe in needs to be minimal.
