What is Toe?

Toe, or tracking, is when a car’s wheels point to the right or left side in an asymmetric angle. Toe-in, also known as positive toe, refers to front wheels tilting towards the centerline of a vehicle, while toe-out, or negative toe, is when the rear wheels tilt outwards of from a vehicle’s centerline.

Toe is one of the three major alignment configuration parameters in a car. It is a basic setting that has a considerable impact on a car’s directional stability and tire wearing angle. It also changes according to a vehicle’s speed.
