Toe refers to angle in relation to direction of travel. The tires mounting angle in referred to as camber. The Bentley has the specs. Typically you want from 0 to -1 degree. The -1 will make the tires lean in at the top. With the skinny tires the negative camber can be an advantage. Dennis

I just me a new set of ra08 and noticed the rear wheels look funky. I need to get an all around alignment but want to confirm bow much the tires should be angled in at the top. I do love the ra08's!! I can tell they ride slot firmer and are nice on the highway. |
