One thing to note is WHERE you measure the toe-in. Obviously the further away from the kingpin, the larger the dimension.

This is why I kind of like the "mark the tire" method in that you're measuring at the diameter of the tire itself, not some other "contraption" you've added onto the spindle/drum face. If you set the toe based on the diameter of the tire, then it should be correct.

If you dramatically change tire diameters, then reset the toe.
