If you are looking only for best tire life, then I would go for:
0 camber front & rear
0 toe front and rear
Caster isn't too important.
Lots of people complain about wearing the inner edges of their tires from slight negative camber, but toe out seemed to wear my tires a lot more.

Jim is pretty close. 
I align roughly 1500 cars yearly including many Vettes from our club. Best specs I have found so far is 1/4 negative camber both sides, match the caster left to right and 1/8" total toe-in.

If you want to keep the car for Xcross, then the specs shown are fine. If you want to set the alignment for maximum tire mileage get that camber DOWN. Put the camber on ALL 4 down to -0.1. The caster shown is fine. Set the rear toe to 0 and the front to to -0.01. You will not be able to feel any difference while you drive. If you X-cross, then you will lose a few tenths. If you X-cross, set the camber back to -0.45 up to -1.0 for racing applications.
The stock settings will wear the inside off of the tire.
