I'm a new Shasta owner trying to get my camper home from the seller. The tires are shot and I need to find new tires ASAP. I have a 1964 Compact with 13" tires on it currently. The sooner I find these the better. Anyone have any ideas of where I can find these tires so I can start working on my Shasta?

Larger Walmarts have decent trailer tire selection. They should stock that size. They had my 15" trailer tires.
They are decent price and can of course mount and balance for you.
Any trailer place should also stock them. Sometimes these places are a little harder to find. Google is your friend.

I'm trying to locate wheels from an existing vehicle that will fit my camper (maybe from a car?). Does anyone know the bolt pattern on a 64' compact?
I have 13" rims and tires currently on them. Can I fit 14" radials on my camper?

I replaced my Loflyte tires with standard tires from Walmart ... I was told that some of the split rims on older campers aren't really travel worthy which is why I opted just to buy new tires and rims.
Good luck.

Bolt pattern should be 4X4.5". Some Fords of the era ran this same size and pattern I believe. Some Nissans from the late 80's- early 90's ran this pattern AND I believe that they have the proper center bore in the rim to clear the hub diameter on the Compacts....many other 4X4.5" will not.
Good luck on your new to you Compact and be sure to share a pic or two when you have the chance.

I don't know where you live, but I put new tires on my '64 Shasta from Les Schwab. I just took in an old one and they replaced both of them. It was no big deal. I live in Western Washington and I think any large tire shop could help you.
