No trouble!

As for other brands/tyres, I don't think anyone has found any other rubber convincingly better for road use on these cars. The big issue seems to be that the sidewalls are really quite soft and the outer edge compound likewise resulting in premature wear of the outer 20% of tread. Mine were bald there after 20,000km whereas I should get 30,000 out of the rears.

When your car arrives, it might pay to have a good independent check the alignment (a few including myself were delivered with excess toe-in) and running the pressures a bit higher than recommended - I use 38psi which helps a little.
