As for the full load or light, I rather air it for the full load spec. I never know when I'm taking a full car of people to lunch. It's not like I could go air up, then come back to get them.
It all comes down to personal preference and if you're happy with running on the high side, then that's all that matters.
I keep mine towards the low side because I usually run lightly loaded and, after experimenting extensively within the range, I find it gives me the best ride and handling. Additionally, as I mentioned earlier, tyre wear is also a significant factor to consider and considering that mine are all perfectly even across the tread, it indicates that I've found what's right for me.
