"N" marked or not?

[thstone]

As Jay said, the Porsche N-marking on tires is useless and irrelevant.

Your car won't handle better with N-tires and it won't randomly veer out of control killing you if you drive on non-N tires. Non-N tires will grip just as well as N tires given all other factors remain the same. This applies to any and all Porsche's, not just mid-engineed or rear-engined.

I don't understand why Porsche continues to perpetuate the N-tire myth.

Sorry for the rant but this is one of the few things that irks me.
