Personalized question: Custom alignment needed or not

I will preface this with saying "I know, search is king" but I wasn't able to find the exact answer, so I figured I'd ask here.
I'll be taking my car to the suspension/tire shop this week, and could use some advice

I will have them mount my new ContiExtremeContactSports that I just picked up, but I am also planning to get an alignment while there.

What should I keep in mind when providing my alignment specs? How far off stock would I need to go based on the below setup?

Thanks in advance to any constructive feedback I get!

My setup:
Evo 9 on OHLINS coilovers (Have camber plates as well)
Evo X GSR wheels (18x8.5 +38)
Continental Extreme Contact Sports
Intended use: "Daily driving" - I drive pretty aggressively/ how these cars should be driven.

Thanks!

Couple of options

You can set up the front camber as totally stock & get the best tire life @ − 1°00' ± 0°30' or go a bit more aggressive @ − 2°00’ ± 0°30’

Set the rear at the stock value = − 1°00'

Rear toe spec = .12 "
Front toe spec = Zero

Most of us just run zero toe front / rear
