'71 Sovereign Tire Question

Can anyone tell me what size tires I need for a '71 Sovereign 31'? I can't check myself because the Airstream is parked 200 miles away from me. Any advice about what kind of tires to buy and where to buy them? Thanks for any advice you can share.

Funnie guy.....!
I've been shopping for tires today and the local Goodyear store is recommending their Liberty tire. I had read elsewhere that the Goodyear Marathon is a good one, but the salesman says I'll be happier with the Liberty. Any thoughts on this? Do you recommend a different brand/tire? I understand that it's important to get a tire specifically made for trailers. That's about all I understand about tires! I feel that I need a good quality tire. We'll be pulling the Airstream from Oklahoma to Florida and then maybe one more short haul and then we plan to park it permanently to live in. Thanks for any info or advice you can share.

One more thing.....the guy that's going to haul my trailer needs to know what kind of braking system it has, whether it's hydraulic or electric. Do Airstreams EVER have hydraulic braking systems? The seller doesn't know as it was delivered to him and he never moved it.
Thanks even more,
Libby
