Wheel alignment term defining the difference in measured distance between the front and rear of tires on a common axle.
Distance between the borehole and the vertical free face at the base of a bench.
The difference in the distance between the front of the tires and the rear of the tires on the same axle, or to the vehicle centerline. Toe-in, or positive toe, is defined as the front of the tires being closer together than the rear of the tires. Toe-out, or negative toe, is when the rear of the tires are closer together than the front of the tires. Zero toe is when the tires are parallel to each other. Excessive toe increases tire scuffing and results in tire wear and drag on the vehicle. Excessive toe-in, or positive toe, increases scuffing on the outside of the tire. Excessive toe-out, or negative toe, increases scuffing on the inside of the tire, and in some cases can cause a darting or wandering problem. Bias or bias-belted tires will commonly show a featheredge or saw-tooth toe wear pattern across the entire tire tread area. Any tire wear pattern caused by a toe condition can be further affected by an excess camber condition and may result in irregular wear patterns. Here is a diagram explaining toe settings.
The leading edge or margin of a glacier.
Looking at the car from the front, the amount the tires are turned in or out. If you imagine your feet to be the two front tires of a race car, standing with your toes together would represent toe-in. Standing with your heels together would represent toe-out.
'Toe in' and 'toe out' are important in setting up a car. Toe in is an adjustment of wheels where the distance from the center of the left wheel to the center of the right wheel is less at the front of the wheels than at the back of the wheels. A slight amount of toe-in is usually specified to keep the front wheels running parallel on the road by offsetting other forces that tend to spread the wheels apart. The major force is the backward thrust of the road against the tire tread while the vehicle is moving forward. Other factors include play in the tie-rod assembly and allowance for angular changes caused by wheel bounce or variations in road conditions. Toe out is obviously the opposite setting and is mostly unwanted. Both settings are measured in fractions of an inch or millimeters
The difference in distance between the front and back of corresponding tires.
The difference between the front and rear edges of tires mounted on an axle. Toe-in means the front edges are closer together than the rear edges and tires point inward. Toe-out means the front edges are farther apart than the rear edges and the tires point outward.
In order to provide stable tracking, all four tires are usually pointed slightly inwards if viewed from overhead. More toe-in provides more stability but increased tire drag. On high-speed oval tracks, these toe settings are even more crucial. Toe-out may be used in certain types of cars and situations, but toe-in is more common. Teams usually adjust toe with the most unsophisticated methodology seen in racing, using a string around the outside of the car and a caliper to measure the difference in the distance from the string between the front outside of the tire and the rear outside of the tire.
The lower front (seaward) portion of a coastal structure.
The tire alignment commonly referred to as “castor†which sets the tire to run evenly with the car. If a tire was “toed out†it would wear off the inside portion of the tire tread surface where it touches the ground. If a tire was “toed in†it would wear the outside area of the tire tread surface. A tire must me “in toe†to wear evenly and face the front direction evenly.
This is the difference between the front and the rear edges of a tire mounted on an automobile. If the front edges are closer together than the rear edges, the phrase toe-in is used. If the front edges are farther apart than the rear edges, it is referred to as toe-out.
the difference between the distance between the front left & right tire and the distance between the rear left & right tire. Toe-In means that the front of the tires are closer together than the rear. Toe-Out means that the rear of the tires are closer together than the front.
Toe is the symmetric angle that each wheel makes with the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, as a function of static geometry, and kinematic and compliant effects. This can be contrasted with steer, which is the antisymmetric angle, i.e. both wheels point to the left or right, in parallel (roughly). Positive toe, or toe in is the front of the wheel pointing in towards the centreline of the vehicle.
