"Sports" tires on A6-2.7T?

[Roy Rapoport (Exchange)]

Evening,

Took ownership of my brand spankin' new 2001 A6-2.7T yesterday, and have
been
having lots of fun over the last two days driving it.

One of the options I chose was the 'Sports Package,' more for the suspension
than for anything else.  The sports package is supposed to include sports
tires.
Tires on my A6 are marked 'Touring.'  Are these the sports tires? Are they
really
that good? I'm used to the Dunlop SP Sport 9000s on my Miata, described as
"bubblegum
around aluminum," so I might be a little spoiled...

I must admit to feeling a little suspicious that my dealer might have
switched
tires on me or, alternatively, that Audi's concept of sports tires is not in
line
with my own.  Thoughts?
