2023+ Cadillac LYRIQ 22" OEM Tire Replacement Guide

The 2023+ Cadillac LYRIQ Signature Luxury, Signature Sport, and V-Series trims ship on a 22×9.5” alloy wheel with a factory 275/40R22 Michelin Primacy A/S. Tech, Luxury, and Sport trims use the smaller 20-inch wheel covered in our LYRIQ 20” OEM tire replacement guide.

OEM Wheel and Tire Specs

The factory 22-inch wheels are 22×9.5” alloy at +40mm offset, 6×132 bolt pattern, and 74.5mm centerbore.

The Michelin Primacy A/S carries a TPC Spec label. TPC Spec (Tire Performance Criteria Specification) means a tire meets the handling, safety, and ride comfort standards General Motors requires for their vehicles. You do not need to buy a TPC Spec tire when replacing your OEM tires. Any tire meeting the size, load index, speed rating, and XL requirement is a valid replacement.

The Primacy A/S is a Michelin SelfSeal tire, meaning the inner liner contains a sealant compound that automatically seals small tread punctures while the tire remains in motion. Many modern vehicles, including the LYRIQ, do not feature a spare tire and self-sealing tires have become more common in an effort to resist flats when not equipped with a spare. Replacing the factory tire with a model without a sealant liner eliminates that protection. If you want to retain self-sealing capability, look for tires with Michelin SelfSeal, Continental ContiSeal, Bridgestone B-Seal, Pirelli Seal Inside, or Goodyear SealTech designations.

Before You Buy

Tire size. The OEM size is 275/40R22. A common wider alternative is 285/40R22, which adds 10mm of section width and sits at roughly +1.0% overall diameter. This is well within the safe ±3% threshold of switching tire sizes with a slightly larger contact patch at the cost of a minor range penalty. Selection in 22-inch tires at this size is relatively narrow, and checking compatible size availability is worth doing before settling on a tire. See our 275/40R22 Tire Compatibility Table for more options.

Load index and XL rating. The OEM tire is XL-rated with a 107 load index. Do not replace with a standard load (SL) tire in this size. Match or exceed the 107 load index and specify XL when ordering.

Self-sealing liner. The LYRIQ’s OE-spec Michelin Primacy A/S uses Michelin’s SelfSeal inner liner. If your tires have this liner, let your installer know before any repair work. Sealant liners handle small tread punctures automatically but still require a professional plug-and-patch for larger damage.

TPMS. The LYRIQ uses direct TPMS with 433 MHz sensors. Sensors stay in the wheel during a standard tire swap and do not need to be replaced. After mounting, the Auto Learn system will recognize the new sensor positions automatically after approximately 10 minutes at above 15 mph. If the system does not pair automatically, a manual relearn can be initiated through the infotainment screen settings using a standard GM TPMS activation tool.

Spare / Tire Mobility Kit. The LYRIQ does not include an OEM spare tire. Cadillac provides a Tire Mobility Kit consisting of an air compressor and tire sealant canister. The kit handles small tread punctures only and will not seal a sidewall blowout. Consider roadside assistance coverage for long-distance driving.

AWD tread depth tolerance. AWD LYRIQ variants require tread depth across all four wheels to stay within 2/32” to 3/32” of each other. Aim to replace all four tires simultaneously. If replacing in pairs, place the tires with the most remaining tread depth on the rear axle.

Grand Touring All-Season

The Michelin Primacy A/S is a Standard Touring All-Season tire. It is quiet, comfortable, and rated for year-round driving including light snow. Grand Touring All-Seasons also prioritize luxury comfort but generally feature better handling at the expense of slightly shorter warranties, while most also carry a 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) rating, a measure of severe snow traction. The Michelin Primacy A/S is not 3PMSF rated. Grand Touring All-Seasons are the right category choice for most LYRIQ owners who want a capable replacement.

The Michelin CrossClimate2 and Continental SecureContact AW are extremely well-rated tires and worth considering if you see significant winter weather, as both carry stronger 3PMSF winter credentials than the standard Primacy A/S. Vredestein’s tires consistently test well against higher-priced competition at noticeably lower prices and are worth a look if budget is a concern.

Ultra High Performance All-Season

Ultra High Performance All-Season (UHPAS) tires improve cornering response and wet grip over Grand Touring All-Seasons without giving up year-round usability. For V-Series owners who want sharper dynamics through the warmer months while keeping a single tire set, this is the right category. Snow performance is reduced compared to a Grand Touring All-Season as UHPAS tires typically carry M+S ratings but not a 3PMSF rating.

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus earns our recommendation. Both the Conti and the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 come from a long line of UHPAS evolution and have consistently earned high praise from owners.

Summer Performance

Summer compounds deliver the shortest braking distances and highest cornering limits of any tire category. The V-Series’s 615 hp AWD drivetrain can definitely put that grip to use. Summer tires should not be used below 40°F as the compound hardens and grip drops sharply.

Summer Performance tires in 22-inch SUV sizes are a niche fitment. Visit TireRack to find full availability in 275/40R22 and 285/40R22 sizing.

Winter Tires

Cold weather cuts EV range and reduces summer and all-season compound grip simultaneously. A dedicated seasonal swap is the correct answer for V-Series owners running summer tires, and worthwhile for all-season owners in regions with real winters. For a narrower winter fitment, a 265/40R22 reduces contact pressure on snow and ice and stays within a tolerable difference of the OEM diameter. For an even more practical setup, Tire Rack offers pre-packaged winter wheel-and-tire sets for your LYRIQ in more practical 18” and 20” diameters.

Performance Winter and Snow

Performance winter tires carry a 3PMSF rating and are fully winter-capable, while prioritizing dry and wet handling alongside snow traction. The right choice for owners who cover highway miles through winter and want confident grip without sacrificing handling dynamics.

Studless Ice and Snow

Studless ice and snow tires maximize winter traction on ice, packed snow, and in severe cold. Dry-road handling is softer than a performance winter, but in genuinely harsh conditions these tires make a measurable safety difference. The LYRIQ’s weight and available power make winter traction a meaningful safety consideration.

Mounting and Installation

If you do not already have a relationship with a local tire shop, Tire Rack ships tires to their highly-rated network of local installers who will mount, balance, and install. Order online and drive to your nearest installer.

• XL-rated tires only. Do not replace the OEM 107H XL tire with a standard load (SL) tire in 275/40R22. Match the XL specification and meet or exceed the 107 load index.
• Sealant liner note. If your OEM tire has a SelfSeal liner, inform your installer so they can handle the inner liner area properly on any repair.
• TPMS sensors stay in the wheel. Do not pay for new sensors on a routine replacement. A valve stem seal inspection is normal and worth doing.
• TPMS relearn. After mounting, drive above 15 mph for approximately 10 minutes. The Auto Learn system will automatically register the sensors. If it does not complete automatically, use the infotainment screen settings to initiate a manual match with a GM TPMS activation tool.
• Lug torque: 140 lb-ft (190 Nm). M14×1.5 lug thread. Confirm your installer uses a calibrated torque wrench.
• Tire Mobility Kit. There is no spare tire. Keep the OEM air compressor and sealant canister in the vehicle.
• AWD tread depth tolerance. On AWD variants, keep all four tires within 2/32”–3/32” of each other. Place tires with the most remaining tread on the rear axle.
• New tires go on the rear. On RWD variants, when replacing in pairs always install the newer tires on the rear axle to maintain rear-axle traction.
