Dunlop doesn't list the fitment in the table, but it's 205/45R17. It comes up if you search for the R56, but this tire doesn't come up if you search for that fitment. That comes up with only the previous gen. SP Sport 9000. Tire Rack also doesn't list this fitment for this tire.
One reviewer at TireRack says they wore out at 20K, which isn't surprising for a tire with a 280 tread rating.

Tires seem to be rather good for my driving at least which so far has been limited to city driving and interstates, nothing really interesting. Handling in the wet seems OK for "normal" driving. Noise is rather good, less than our R50 with 16" OEM Goodyear EMT runflats.
There's a bit of shake/tramlining on textured-groove highway surfaces, but I've experienced much worse in other cars with all-seasons. Seems to be a bit stronger than on our R50. There's this one spot on the toll road where there's a flyover curve that I tend to want to take at 75 that has a rough semi-grooved texture where I can feel it tug a bit, making it feel a touch squirrelly. Sport mode actually seems to help with that, oddly enough.
There's also some heavily rubberized-crack-sealant-patched highway on my commute that gives me a bit of a bouncy-unstable feel, but it's not too strong, at least not at "normal" in-city highway speeds. That part of the road is really annoying. Everything that's not nailed down in the car rattles.
