If you need the full load capacity, run at full pressure.
If you are using about 90% or even as little as 80% of the carrying capacity, then lowering pressure gives the tire a BETTER contact patch on the road!! That could be VERY IMPORTANT during heaving braking!!
If a tire is overinflated for the load it is carrying it will have less contact with the road, same is true if under inflated, it is NOT one pressure fits all.
