All you have to do is measure from the same part of the tread pattern on both the front side of the tire front tires and the rear side front tires. The difference in measurements gives you your toe-in. It helps to have a tool to hold the steering wheel straight while adjusting the tie rods.

Have done it 2x - first time I took it to stealer to set - found I was within tolerance and they made no adjustments... Tape measure is fine.
