I think so.

Only english site Ive found it on is this one http://www.toyojapan.com/uhp/f08/http://www.toyojapan.com/uhp/f08/

Went shopping today for some replacements for my aging Yokohama A539s and these looked very good with some very good specs, W rated, etc and about 28 quid cheaper than the same size T1-S so I thought Id try em out

I havent had a chance to really test em yet, but the ride is ever so slightly stiffer so Im guessing stiffer side wall. My steering is lighter, but that could just be the inflation pressure, and the grip seems to be slightly better than the A539s in the dry. Also these tyres seem to invite you into taking corners faster and tighter than the A539s ever did, but that could just be me.
