Thanks for the photo and it is a great idea to replace your Shasta's 225/75-15 car tires with trailer tires that are size 205/75-15, which will be 1.2" smaller in diameter and 0.8" narrower. It will look great on your trailer and not too small as they are very close in size.

For trailer tires that are 205/75-15 and have the right load capacity I recommend the Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # LHWL300 because they have a deep 10/32" tread for continually great traction and even have 24/7 flat tire service so you will never again be stuck on the side of the road in a dangerous situation trying to repair or replace your own flat tire. This load range D tire has a 2,150 lb capacity when inflated to its max 65 psi.

There are also 225/75-15 trailer tires you can use if you simply wanted to stick with the same size, and that tire size from Westlake is the Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # LHWL304. I have added links to video reviews of these tires for you to check out.
