Ah, interesting.  I have often wondered about this.=20
Now, to help in the diagnosis if we have a tyre wear problem, I wonder =
which side of the tyre will wear?  If too much toe-in, I suppose the =
outside will wear ; and if too much toe-out I expect  the inside will =
wear.   Is this correct please?  =20
And is the answer always  the same, or can the effect of the wrong toe =
setting depend on how much caster or camber is present?=20
