TSB: 4440 14/08 Summer tires
Pirelli P-Zero Asimmetrico N3
Pirelli P-Zero Rosso N4
Continental ContiSportContact2 N2
Michelin PilotSport PS2 N3
TSB: 4440 05/04 Winter tires
Pirelli Winter 240 SnowSport N3

But several AM manufacturers have the N rating which is the Porsche rating.

For future reference, you can get the list from Porsche's website: http://www.porsche.com/usa/accessori...sanddownloads/

Or if you're a contributing member of Renntech.org, then it's in their TSB document repository.

Something tells me Porsche won't homologate a Hankook tyre for a 911 Turbo, just a guess.
