240fluke is an unknown quantity at this point
For toe (to my understanding of this) a toe in situation should make turn in easier, but it will also be more willing to follow ruts in the road. This can probably cause for a little less stability on the vehicle at highway speeds, but it is easier to rotate the car.

A toe out situation will lead to more highway stability as the car does not want to go and follow the road as much. However, it does lead to the car becoming harder to rotate through turns.

Also with the tires facing in ( / / \ \ ) the car will want to wear the outside edges of your tires faster. With the tires facing out
( \ \ / / ) you will be dragging the inside of the tires along the road causing the inside edges to wear faster.
