Hey Aaron, I'd actually suggest contacting Jayco and seeing if they can backdate this, but from what I can find your trailer should've come with 185/ 80R14 tires, but I've also read a couple of conflicting reports.
The closest tires we have to that size are ST185/80R13 tires like the Karrier ST185/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Aluminum Wheel # KE33JR which is going to be approximately 1" shorter.
The difference really isn't too major so you'd probably be good, but I'd still suggest getting the actual tire size figured out. If there is anything else I can do to help, please feel free to leave a comment and let me know!
