A car that has been aligned with the proper amount of static toe-in will be at ZERO TOE when driving down the road. Once moving, the forces at work make the tires want to toe-out, and the simple goal of static toe-in is to approximate the "give" in the components involved so that zero toe is achieved once in motion. Therefore, the inboard tire is NOT EVER traversing through straight ahead on the way to toeing out at the instant a turn is begun - the first movement is away from straight ahead into toe-out.

This new forum is for folks who think that "corners are best". I have steered clear (pun intended) from my soapbox about how the auto-crossing minority too often push their agenda of crazy-high negative camber into the faces of the vast majority of classic car folks here whose cars never see anything more strenuous than the occasional sweeping freeway onramp. It's your forum, so knock yourselves out with your negative camber.

That being said, I can think of no better way to ruin front tires in short order than by messing with toe-in. I think the O.P. is doing a disservice, even to avid auto-crossers, to suggest that significant benefit can be gained for anything other than a track-only car by messing with toe settings.


Down to just a blue car now.
