Because it would be much easier if you had the specs next to each entry for comparison purposes
Unless you are racing, and very confident you know more than audi, you mainly wnat things within factory spec, whcih almost any machine will print out for you.

Your alignment wrench only touched the toe adjustments. Got the front toe right, but not the rear...
For max tire life should be Zero camber, and Zero total toe, centered on the chassis. I don't lurk here, only on the A6 C5 forum.

Bernie said "for maximum tire life" and with that goal, it is probably true....
.. for any car. Minimum scrub; maximum life. May not be factory spec, optimum for handling, nor feel. But scrubbing rubber is in fact wasteful
