Toe in will improve stability, start at 2 to 3 mm toe in and
work from there. Too much toe in will increase sluggishness in
turning and lead to tyre wear Nick

Toe out will increase straight line stability and aid the self
centring of the steering, at the cost of sharpness of turn in
you get with toe in.

Toe out, front of wheels further apart than back, will lighten
the steering and reduce stability. Toe in, front of wheels
closer together than back, will make the steering heavier and
increase stability.

Rear wheel drive cars need toe in for stability. See this

It is a more complex situation if you have front wheel drive.
