I used to be an auto mechanic. I did a lot of front end work, and I know that the proper toe on the tires depends on the camber angle. A tire tends to roll in the direction it is leaning, if it is tilted out at the top (positive camber), it will require enough toe-in to counteract this tendency. The best way to be really sure is to use a scuff gauge, roll the wheels across it with the plane in normal landing attitude, and adjust toe for zero scuff. An old Air National Guard mechanic told me that they checked scuff by greasing the bottom of a small piece of sheet metal, laying it on a concrete floor and tracing its position with a pencil, rolling the bird across it and noting if it moved. Ghetto type scuff gauge, but it worked!
