Question:
Hello, I have a Jayco Fifth wheel 2021. Its a 28.5 RSTS. Its about time for tires, and Im not a fan of the 15 inch wheels. Do you happen to sell the factory jayco 16s? possibly in a wheel/tire combo? I pull with a chevy 2500 and im a touch nose high also. Id like some options on tire sizes. 15 inch rims are very limited on tire size

Hey Josh, thanks for reaching out!
I can definitely help you upgrade the tire size on your 2021 Jayco Eagle HT 28.5RSTS, but we don't have exact matches to the Jayco factory tires/wheels. It's important to note that you'll be losing about 2" of space inside your wheel wells so you'll want to make sure you'll still have about 4" of height clearance to account for suspension flex.
According to my research your Jayco Eagle has 225/75R15 tires with a 6-Lug bolt pattern so for an upgrade I recommend checking out the Kenda ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 16" HWT Aluminum Wheel # AM34969B as it looks to be the closest style to what came on your trailer.
If you're wanting something a little more cost-effective then you might be interested in the Kenda Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire with 16" Black Mod Wheel # AM34834 which is more of a standard look, but it will still be a reliable option for you.

Hey Josh, how did the upgrade to the 16-inch wheels on your Jayco Eagle HT turn out? Did one of the Kenda tire and wheel combos give you the clearance and stance you were hoping for? Your update could make it easier for others looking to move up from 15-inch rims.
