You can lower them if you like. If you haven't changed the thermostat, you might not see the results you desire. The stock settings are generally up there. You can try lowering them 10-20* and see how you like that. If you change the thermostat to say a 160 you could try

Fan 1 on 183 off 179

Fan 2 on 187 off 184

or

Low turn on - 195
low turn off - 188
high turn on -205
high turn off -195

See here for some additional advice.

I had the stock stat and lowered my high/low on/off temps by 20*F. Never saw it above 217*F after that, whereas before it could get into the 230's on a hot day.
