  Before you consider attempting to change the tracking of your wheels, consider this.  What I'm talking about is the gear leg that uses bungee cords and not the grove gear.  With bungee cords, the gear is toe in to keep the bungee cords from extending and wheels spreading outward during taxi and take-off.  Naturally, if the wheels were toe out, then the gears would want to spread out and the bungee cords would stretch.  The perfect scenario would be to have a straight track, but even with that, I think you may be looking for a potential problem.  You need to decide if replacement of the tires and expense outweighs the possibility of bungee cord breaking and more expensive damage and repairs.
