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.

Subject: Rear tire angle

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.
