Default front wheels "toe in severely"

That was the quote when i got my car serviced lol

What does this actually mean, and is it a problem.......

I thought i'd experience odd tyre wear but my tyres wear completely even and last me a long time!

can anybody shed any light on this?

Ta,

Bri

toe in means the wheel is pointing inwards, in this case significantly. Means you need to spend a small sum of money on allignment. Not too bad, but if its really toeing in, you should immediately notice improvements straight away, and its well worth it on the life of the tyres. Return on investment, a rare thing on cars ...
