Back when I PDI'd new tractors I set the "toe in" by measuring even with spindles at the front center to center of tires at 3/8''

Google is your friend, and I came up with 1/8 to 1/4, any more than that will wear tires prematurely on pavement. The procedure that I have used it to gently roll the tractor forward, then put a piece of tape on both center rib at the 3 o'clock position, with a small vertical line on it. Then roll the tractor forward until your marks are at the 9 o'clock position, being careful not to let it ever roll backwards. The measurement in the front should be 1/8 to 1/4 less than the back. If it rolls backwards it may change if there is any slack in the tie rod ends, and there usually is. You want it aligned when going forward, that's the way you travel mostly.

Personally, I think 1/8 to 1/4 is best if the front end is tight, go to 3/8 if there is a lot of slop. The purpose of toe in is to make the wheels straight with the road when they encounter rolling resistance, so it varies.

Bias tires 1/8 to a 1/4. Radial tires O to 1/8. For tire wear you want zero tow, but to keep it driving straight without constantly chasing the steering wheel, you want it towed in.
