I just recommended my friend and he manage to buy even with this rare tire size 225/60/R17 not long ago delivered within 1 week time.
You got ask the shop to order? If no they sure will push their in-house stock.
*
Confirmed with Yokohama Malaysia no such size for 15".
Even 195/60/R15 also they not bring-in. Previously V551 still have minimum 195/60/R15 size.

Ahh.. UC6, i did not noticed this tire.. looks good. have you got any experienced with it?
Planned to change to Primacy 4 before but got no size for 195/55/15, smallest one is 195/60/15 which is too big already for my car..
*
My old myvi SE with some tyre at 195/55/15 will touch fender at rear at bumpy road, still using Neuton NT8000 already 4+ years old. Good grip & comfort, assymetric design.

My friend using UC6, he mentioned very good comfort & silent if compare with he previous tyre Hankook Evo2, very noisy coz the V design & after 3 - 4 months the grip drop & not confident at corner in wet road condition. He driving Innova but he drive 120KmH+ during rain. Now he drive more confident with UC6, but just 3+ month. Normally I suggest my officemate try UC6 SUV for their SUV, reasonable price. May be I will also try it after this coz my PS4 already 2+ years old.

Can compare & read other user review there.

Is very funny that last year carsifu did the tire test with them and they also list out the 15' size in the table from the link i shared previously.
Did you direct confirm with Yokohama website or tire shop. I got different feedback before as some tire shop can get certain tire stock but the website or main office unable to confirm. If really both the main distributor & tire shop also say cannot order or be found then no choice to move on.

It seems nobody selling V552 here in Malaysia.

also they don't have V552 size for 15".

V552 size 15 not sell in Malaysia. There a guy in here already ask Yokohama regarding. Only selling 16 and above. If this available, I just buy this one instead without open up this thread. It is a damn good tire for my criteria.

I'm that guy lar!
Last week I also met their technician and ask about this... both of my cars on 15", if they have 185/60/R15 or 195/55/R15 or 195/60/R15, I can fit on my car also as diameter within 2% difference which still acceptable.

My son's Swift is using the V12E2 for over 20k km now and still not noisy and good performance. I can still whack it over 120kph in the wet. On the other hand a former office colleague bought UC6 for his Camry and regretted it coz he said the handling not so stable and I think it makes sense coz UC6 is just 1 level above the lowest CC6 in Continental range.

Your son's very lucky, may be coz light small car & drive carefully in town area. My friend very hard braking driving style & heavy load big MPV. Last time had different experienced with same tyre with different car, Yoko Cdrive 2, very good & long lasting with Preve Turbo but average performance with my brother BMW 7 series.

If read under U.K tyre review also had mix feedback for Hankok Evo2.

I also often drive the Swift and I drive quite fast too. Our routine route is always 60-70% highway. Previously my wife's Livina also used V12E2. For the price I think it's excellent value for money.

I had two bad experienced with V type tyre, good in wet but noisy. First with Goodyear Directional & second Toyo T1R, Toyo T1 Sport is good grip & comfort. Now after Finish Michelin Primacy using PS4. Feel full confident driving in wet, anyway I could get cheaper than normal price. Normally my tyre could last nearly 3 years

I used F1D5 before, yes it's not silent but ok for me. V12E2 is more silent than F1D5.

If you read Toyo T1R & T1Sport had same medium compound but different tread design, coz T1R v type compound it noisy esp at concrete or old road.

May be true, depend on made in where, coz last time had friend using Primacy made in China, average performace but my Primacy made in Thailand very good comfort & performance. Anyway most of our Alfa club will make joke if anybody using v design thread, they said like bad orchestra on Highway. Hehehe!

Most of us had bad noisy experienced with v design thread if compare with assymetric design thread.

That is why I highlighted it. Personally I think its quite impossible, plus still havent reached the safety indicator. Besides, I been through that route before many years ago. Yes, it was way bendy back then and then they built a straight road towards Kuala Lipis later on but still, it is quite a feat to reach 120K with tyre life to spare.
