Pad position under a small angle (“toe-in”): Always look that the brake pads touch the rim first at the front of the pad. From Wordnik.com. [Technical Q&A with Lennard Zinn: How to stop cyclocross brake chatter] Reference
The brake blocks themselves can tilt and swivel in every direction, making fine-tuned toe-in and height adjustments a breeze. From Wordnik.com. [Wrenched & Ridden: Avid Shorty Ultimate ’cross brakes] Reference
With toe-in what a wonderful noise-easing discovery brake pad wear is asymmetric: there just seems to be a lot of useful pad on the 180 degree other end. From Wordnik.com. [Technical FAQ with Lennard Zinn: Brake questions, compatibility and New Year’s feedback] Reference
To understand the reason why it happens and why reduced pad size, lots of toe-in, and a tight headset help take a look at the chart titled “Brake Shudder in cantilever brakes.”. From Wordnik.com. [Technical Q&A with Lennard Zinn: How to stop cyclocross brake chatter] Reference
I cut my pads and holders as short as I could from the back end, and, combined with a lot of toe-in, reduced the chatter enough that I could race on it without feeling like I was putting myself or other riders in danger. From Wordnik.com. [Technical Q&A with Lennard Zinn: How to stop cyclocross brake chatter] Reference
At the beginning of the season, both bikes otherwise had exactly the same magnesium frame, same IRD front cantilever brakes, with stock (long) pads with threaded posts, and both had the same pad toe-in or about 2mm end to end.

I closed out half of my "toe-in" trade at a small loss. From Wordnik.com. [blog maverick] Reference
So, I try to avoid going toe-in because it seems to damage the shoes. From Wordnik.com. Reference
To minimise rolling resistance and therefore increase range, the wheels have no toe-in or camber. From Wordnik.com. [GREENIE WATCH] Reference
These avoid static toe-in alignment by both tires wanting to roll towards the center of the vehicle. From Wordnik.com. [Autoblog Green] Reference
The toe-in dimension is positive when the fronts of the tires are turned toward the center of the car. From Wordnik.com. [Automotive News Blog at CARandDRIVER.com - Car News Resource] Reference
Misalignment camber and toe-in can reduce the life of your tires, so be sure to routinely inspect for uneven tread wear. From Wordnik.com. [Top Five Tire Care Tips From AutoMD.com - Yahoo! Finance] Reference
Bushing compliance provides a modest toe-in effect in response to substantial cornering and braking loads to enhance overall stability. From Wordnik.com. [Top Speed] Reference
Available Tags: Hyperlink wah: I use a file sometimes …. and a pair of plyers or screwdriver and "tweak" the toe-in .. checkbook: my 2 lame-o cents: No singletrack. From Wordnik.com. [Smithers MINNEAPOLIS] Reference
This means that a complex set of software algorithms can provide the same kind of benefits as rear-wheel steering and exaggerated toe-in without the expense or efficiency losses of a mechanical system. From Wordnik.com. [Autoblog] Reference
Also note that tire wear is heavily influenced by the suspension geometry settings chosen by the driver - an increased toe-in angle, for example, decreases a powerful RWD car's tendency to oversteer, but increases the tire slippage, and hence, the abrasion. From Wordnik.com. [The J Curve] Reference
On Sol 2132 (January 1, 2010), Spirit, facing northward, steered its left-front, left-rear, and right-rear wheels to 60 degrees, to toe-in in an attempt to get the sandy material in front of the wheels to collapse into the trenches in which the wheels are embedded. From Wordnik.com. [Planetary Society Daily Almanac] Reference
In addition, the standard method to provide high speed stability of designing the rear wheels to toe-in is not required as the torque vectoring system automatically provides this stability control, with toe-in increasing rolling resistance, lowering fuel economy and increasing tyre wear.
