I think for anyone trying to maximize tire life on the street, running 0-toe
front and rear is a good thing to do. It just makes sense to have all 4
tires wanting to travel in the same direction. I've ran some weird toe-out
settings on the street and it makes the car (95 Probe GT) get freaky
sometimes! The factory 3mm toe-in setting seemed to wear my outside edges
faster since I like to take corners fast and naturally wear the outside
edges. So, if any toe setting would be used, maybe a little toe-out front
and rear. I think some toe-out in the rear helps a FWD car rotate.
I would guess that a Saturn doesn't have too much camber adjustment, but I
would think you would want it maxxed negative for autox. Probably the same
thing for the street too.
Pressures... now there's a variable thing.
