I want to manage the water pressure to have minimal wear and tear on
the pipes.

The conventional wisdom is that 80 PSI is the maximum acceptable static
pressure. Go adjust your PRV downward.

When you adjust the valve, you may have to open a valve to let off some of
the pressure, then close it back and wait to see if the pressure builds back
up.

When the water is first turned on, if the pipes have any air in them , or a
bladder system the pressure will be lower and build up as everything
equalizes.
