This angle makes it possible to keep the front wheels straight
when the vehicle is running straight and allows the wheels to
return spontaneously to running straight from the position
taken in the bend, as soon as the steering wheel is released by
the driver.

The wheel toe-in results from the difference between the
distances A and B (value expressed in mm) measured on the
horizontal axis of the rims, looking at the vehicle from the top.
In this way a light drive and a low tyre consumption is obtained.
The toe-in is positive if B is higher than A.
