Bouncier than standard, less grippy than standard, noisier than standard, so about the same as any other wide mud tyre, as well as being manageable in the dry and feckin' terrible in the wet!
Have fun !!!

No-one can tell for definite if anything needs to be done 'cos the size you have is borderline need/not need anything doing!!
It's also down a lot to how you use the thing! If you're always off-roading and using all the suspension travel, tight turns etc then it's possible you need to camel cut the rears, trim the front bumper endcaps and adjust lockstops, but with Landrovers, including Discos, all adjustments are suck-it-and-see. Turn the front wheels and see if the inside edges (leading and trailing) catch the radius arms or chassis etc whilst you also rotate the wheel. If they do catch anywhere you need to adjust the lockstops. Adjusting a bit too much is OK, better to have 5mm or more clearance, though much more and turning the Torrey canyon might be easier. If they don't catch you might be OK. Drive it a while and see if they're rubbing anywhere and adjust as necessary!
