You want 0.02" toe in on each wheel, period. Dont listen to the dealer.

I already have 15k on the tires and while wear is not ideal, I should make it to 45k miles. Won't less toe give me even less road feel?

Report back. I made a bold (too bold? ) prediction.

Where in gods name did you get the idea that toe = road feel?

On a high performance suspension with low miles, all you need is a bit of toe to keep it centered. Tire model and inflation pressure drive 'road feel'.

Any toe in over 0.02 just 'scrubs' rubber off faster. IMO
