Hey Kevin,

Thanks for your question.

We actually don't carry any Load Range E trailer tires in the ST205/75R14 size. The highest load rating we offer in that size is Load Range D, which provides a capacity of 2,200 lbs per tire.

Based on the information I found, your 2020 Jayco Jay Flight 287BHS is a tandem-axle travel trailer with a GVWR of approximately 7,500 lbs. Replacing with load range D tires would give you more than enough weight carrying capacity.

One option I'd recommend is the Kenda Karrier KR53 ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Black Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 # KE75EV. This package includes an 8-ply Load Range D radial tire mounted on a 14-inch black steel modular wheel.

If you're looking for a different appearance, the Kenda Karrier KR53 ST205/75R14 Radial Tire with 14" Matte Black Aluminum Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 # KE79JV uses the same Kenda tire but pairs it with a matte black aluminum wheel.

We also carry several other Kenda tire and aluminum wheel combinations, so if you'd like to see additional wheel styles, just let me know and I'd be happy to point you toward a few options.

By the way, do you have any trips planned with your Jayco this summer?

Kevin, I purchased the wheels and they are very good wheels. They would work on your camper as well as the tires suggested above from expert. The D rated tires will be fine for that weight.

I am in agreement with Kevin. Load range e would be a bit overkill. I purchased the black wheels with Kenda tires. I installed them on my car trailer that has a 7,000 pound load capacity. They handle very well and the wheels are nicely coated in black. Tire selection is based on opinion. Just be because one has a big label name doesn’t always mean they are better. Base your purchase by cost, mileage warranties and how it handles on the road. If you have no personal experience with either tire. The next time you go camping ask some fellow campers how they like the way their tires handle. I hope this provides some insight. Happy Camping!
