You'll get better performance out of a tire closer to its max pressure, but you also can decrease its life. Going lower on the pressue can make it ride better, but it can also make it feel mushy. The same is true on low pressures in regards to decreased tire life there is a middle ground to be had, but it all depends on tire construction and its treadwear rating.

For stiff sidewalled tires, I'd run 5 lbs under max checked hot.
