I'll agree with Kevin that his equation:
degrees = arcsine [(total toe) / (radius)]
yields the same answer as I described above since (1/2 of diameter) =
(radius) and the relationship between the two measurments is kept
proportionally the same.
Regardless, the tire diameter and not the radius is used to determine the toe
measurements, which was the logical bone of contention.
