A bit of front tow out makes for a great feeling "turn-in" which is desirable on a track, autocross or if one simply likes the feel of it (which I do). The downside of too much toe out is straight line instability. I have 0.11 total front toe out. Turn in feels great and the compromise in straight line instability is minimal on hundreds of freeway miles to the track and at 125 mph on the track straights. If I trailered my car to the track, I probably would have a bit more front toe out.
I assume the factory alignment on my 2023 Toyota Corolla is toe in which is appropriate for a mass produced daily driver. If I ever enter the Silver State Classic, I think I'd go for a bit of toe in.
When you get your alignment (and on corner weight scales), make sure to be sitting in the car and maybe half a tank of gas. I make up almost 10% of the weight on the suspension, so it makes a difference.
