I drove the coach this morning with considerable improvement in steering. I hugs the road better and new tie rods removed all of the slack. The alignment machine shows .16 degrees for each wheel, or a total toe in of .31 degrees. Pete, who did the alignment, measured the rear and front of the tires for a toe-in of 3/16". Applying the above formula, .31 x 21.15 x 2 = 13.113. Obviously, I do not understand the formula. I would appreciate if Richard or someone would compute my toe-in. If it is fact 3/16" I will experience more tire wear than the factory 1/16", but if they last three more years I am OK with the better steering.
