You must have only thought you had a lot of toe, or never used the brakes.

One trials event w/ lots of negative camber and too much toe out on my car nearly corded the inside edges of my front tires due to braking. Dean's car at RFR w/ lots of toe out was borderline undriveable under braking w/ the darty dance it does over every tiny little bump. My car last weekend w/ too much rear toe-out spun what, 4 times?

Toe makes a *huge* difference in stability, and it exacerbates tire wear due to camber dramatically.
