Glossary
Toe
An alignment angle describing how the front edges of a pair of tires point relative to the direction of travel. Toe-in points inward; toe-out points outward. Incorrect toe is the most common cause of feathering wear on truck tires.
Real-World Use
A maintenance technician noting feathering wear on both steer tires checks the alignment report and finds toe is out of specification — an alignment correction is needed, not just a tire rotation.
