I would not think toe in would cause you to break the rear free.

A heavy foot and inappropriate tires would more likely be the culprit IMHO.

You need to buy some new tires, if your steering wheel is shaking you are down to your tread warnings and that can be dangerous. There are a lot of tires out there do some research and pick one that works for you.
