What should the alignment be for daily driving?
I know the factory recommended alignment spces are:
Front:
Toe-in mm (in.): 0 +/- 2 ( 0 +/- 0.08)
Camber (Selectable from 2 options): -1deg +/- 30' or -2deg +/- 30' (left/right deviation within 30')
Caster: 3deg55' +/- 30' (left/right devitation within 30')
Rear:
Toe-in mm (in.): 3 +/- 2 (0.12 +/- 0.07)
Camber: -1deg +/- 30' (difference between right and left within 30')
But many people has suggested getting the car aligned using different alignment specs. I'm wondering what would be the ideal alignment specs for the car for daily driving and some weekend fun rides.
Thanks!

I would stick with what 
gave you. If you're concerned about tire wear (the only thing I could think you would be concerned with) then check your tread wear after so many miles. Is it wearing on the inside or outside quicker?
What is it that you actually want to accomplish? What's best for daily driving could really just be a matter of opinion.
