Any issues with tire load using Direzza Star spec

Hi everybody, I have 4,300 miles on my c63 and it's time for new tires. Has anyone had any issues with the load specs using Dunlop Direzza Star specs

the fronts 235/40/18 have a load description of 91W and rears 265/35/18 have a load rating of 93W, both are under the XL load rating and I am concerned about putting tires on with rating below the factory recommended levels. any thoughts?

thanks

I am on my second set with 8 track days on the first set of fronts and 6 on the rears. These tires perform great street or track, wet or dry. They are the only tires I will use from this point forward other than the Toyo R888's waiting in my garage to be mounted for track use.

Same setup for DD and I forgot to mention how much nastier the car looks with tires that have a competition look.
