From my research on the forums, it looks like your 1997 Jayco 1207 Pop-Up Camper may have came with 20.5x8-10 tires. The modern equivalent to this size is a 205/65-10. If this is the case then I recommend the Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire part # AM1HP52. This tire has a load range C which is suitable for use up to 2,200 lbs and it comes with a two year warranty. Kenda tires are one of my personal favorites and they are also highly reviewed by our customers.

I recommend you confirm your tire size before purchase which can be found on the sidewall of the tires on your trailer. You will also need to make sure the trailer's gross trailer weight (GTW) does not exceed 2,200 lbs. I have attached a review video of this tire for you as well.

For the 20.5x8x10, the new size is a 205/65-10. This would be the better tire for the long drives you plan on because it is a wider tire that will offer more stability. You can also get higher load capacities with the wider tire in this case if…
