Do you have a photo, or model? Length?
There are a ton of different Shastas; the larger ones had bigger wheels and tires than the little ones...

On my 68 Starflyte, I have 14" steel wheels, Goodyear Marathon Trailer Tire ST215/75R14 6 Ply, Load Range C. I have no idea if this is the size it came from factory with though. I do know they are a real pain to install or remove with air in them

On my title the model # is 16A/7.....so I assume it is 16 ft....not 14ft as I stated earlier. I just want to be safe and not damage anything by using the wrong size.....not so concerned with keeping it "vintage" at this point. Do they have to be "trailer tires" or will any tire do? I think the tires on there now are just car tires, and both the rims and tires are different sizes.....meaning one rim is larger than the other, therefore, both tires dont match either. thankyou for replies!

Please post a photo. It sounds like a 16 footer for sure; pry bigger tires. I would guess minimum 14" rims, probably 15".
No, you can not use just "any tire". They need to be ST trailer tires. This is not a vintage issue, but a safety concern.
We really do need more information before giving advice.
