Whats up with 39 in the fronts?

Close to 75% of my driving on the daily commute is at 80mph+, so Id class that as motorway driving.

I was a bit hesitant to put them up so high, but Renault say its right so who am I to argue.

Having got them set at those pressures, the car feels fine, feedback and feel is improved at all speeds, and Ive had no handling issues (it refuses to understeer, and it oversteers on demand ) whatsoever.
