I was hopeful about this but when I tried to call local Pirelli 
dealers, none of them knew anything about the P6 or P7 
(www.pirellip7.com) except that they were "discontinued a long time 
ago" at best.  One was kind enough to give me the phone number to 
their Pirelli supplier who told me that the P6 is available in a very 
limited range of sizes in the US, none of which were 195/60/15.

It doesn't matter to me at this point since I couldn't wait any 
longer and settled for P6000.  In case it helps someone else though, 
does anyone have access to 195/60/15 P6s in the US?
