Expert Reply:
Yes, your 215/60-8 tires will be able to handle the shed on your trailer weighing 2,000 lbs. It sounds like your tires have a maximum capacity of 815 lbs. The load range on your tires should be a letter, but the max load will also be listed along with the correct psi.
For example, the Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire - 215/60-8 # AM1HP26 has a load range of C with a maximum load of 935 lbs at 50 psi. 215/60-8 tires like yours typically have a load range of C (935 lbs at 50 psi) or D (1,165 lbs at 70 psi).
Even at 815 lbs, that is per tire. Since you have 4 tires, they would be capable of handling 3,260 lbs combined which is more than enough for your shed.
I have attached some helpful articles on trailer tires for your reference.
