Hi Jim,
If the string was truly straight and touching the front and back of the rear
tire, it shouldn't touch the front tire at all. That's because the track of
the rear is a 11/4" wider than the front. If the string was straight and you
did touch the front of the front tire, the toe-out would be so severe, you'd
see it from several feet away (I'd have to wear my glasses though).

I did notice this winter that the toe-in does not appear correct. That is, a
string from front edge of the of front tire to rear edge of the rear tire
(at
center of wheel) touches both edges of the rear tire (front and back) but
NOT
the rear edge of the front tires, showing tow out.  This is about 1/2 inch
on
each side.  It appears from the manual that there should be slight toe-in
and
was wondering if this might be the culprit?  Thought would be appreciated.
