yes, the recommendation is for Street set-up for maximum tire life without wearing out the inside edges, with good handling.
OEM specs. allow wider tolerances that those written here, so it is important that whoever does the alignment sets it to these exactly for best, proven results.

Typically the factory variances are only there because it reflects the inaccuracies of the OEM marks, manufacturing tolerances and differences in alignment equipment.

The wide tolerance is there so they can ball park the alignment and get it off the line. The suspension has to "settle in", making it necessary to be realigned in the next couple of hundred miles anyway.
