The Cadillac Lyriq is the first dedicated Cadillac EV, a mid-size luxury crossover on the Ultium platform with a 300+ mile range and an emphasis on quiet cabin refinement. It weighs roughly 5,600 to 5,900 lbs depending on configuration. Tire selection should prioritize load-compliant, low-rolling-resistance options that enhance rather than undermine the Lyriq's premium experience.
Cadillac Lyriq tire size
The Lyriq RWD and AWD use 265/50R20 on standard 20-inch wheels. Upper trims use 275/40R22 on optional 22-inch wheels. The OEM tire is the Michelin Primacy All Season, CAD-approved for the Lyriq.
Always verify on the driver door sticker. The 275 width is wider than typical mid-size crossovers, so fewer EV-optimized options exist in this size compared to narrower EV fitments.
Best tires for the Cadillac Lyriq
Michelin Primacy All Season (265/50R20): the OEM and top recommendation. A quiet, low-rolling-resistance all-season tire factory-fitted to the Lyriq, well suited to the vehicle's weight and range needs.
Continental CrossContact LX25 (265/50R20): the quietest all-season alternative for Lyriq owners. Very low road noise enhances the Lyriq's cabin, excellent wet traction, 70,000-mile warranty.
Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 SUV (265/50R20): a sport all-season pick for Lyriq owners who want more athletic character. Excellent wet and dry performance with a sport feel.
Frequently asked
What tire size does the Cadillac Lyriq use?
Standard 20-inch: 265/50R20. Optional Sport 22-inch: 275/40R22. Verify on the driver door sticker.
How much do Cadillac Lyriq tires cost?
265/50R20: $200 to $310 per tire. A full set of four installed runs $800 to $1,240.
How do I know when my Lyriq needs new tires?
Use the penny test, and remember that a heavy EV can wear tires faster than a gas car. In the Lyriq's quiet cabin, rising road noise is an early clue the tread is going. Watch the rear tires if you use the instant torque hard, and check for uneven wear if rotations get skipped.
Do EVs like the Lyriq need special tires?
Not strictly, but EV-oriented tires help. Options with lower rolling resistance protect your range, and the correct load rating matters because the Lyriq is heavy. Many EV tires also add foam inside to keep road noise out of that silent cabin. A shop can point you to ones made for the weight and the wheel size.
