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.

How much should the rear tires be toed in at the top? 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.
