As long as load rating is good, nothing wrong with using Porsche N-spec tires right?

I can’t imagine why there’d be an issue, but figured I’d ask here just in case I’m missing something.

You can use them--- and as you stated, the load rating is what matters.

found this on tirerack to get you more info on the "N"-- this is a good thing as Porsche builds amazing driver's cars.

As your researching tires for your 911, Cayman or Boxster, you may come across N-0 designated tires. Tires may be specified for a particular vehicle or range of vehicles and must successfully pass the tire company's laboratory tests to assure they would be capable of supporting the Porsche vehicle while allowing it to reach its top speed on Germany's Autobahn. Additional tests are conducted to confirm prototype tires meet Porsche's noise, hydroplaning and handling requirements. These tires will also be evaluated to assess their high-speed durability, uniformity and serviceability. Production tires that have passed all the tests and received the engineering department's release can be branded with an N-specification.
