I noticed noone said anything about yokohama geolander a/t. Ive had a set on my disco for 60,000km. THey are pretty much done...but, wore evenly, never a puncture, great on road, more than capable off road.
Im about to replace them with pro comp all terrain extremes, only because i want a more aggressive tyre this time around.

I see you have chosen Pirelli, but just to add my 2c worth.....I have had Maxxis 751s for over 200k - 2 sets, now due for some new ones. I have never had a better tyre. I have had no punctures and the tyre is a good all rounder. Yes there is better tyres for a given situation, but as an all rounder, the 751s are for me, and I will only get these again even though the new 771s are supposed to be better still.

Mate 33's on a disco with no lift? I think not. Although you might not have to trim them yourself, Im sure the tyres will trim the car nicely for you
Apologies moderators about linking to another forum but these guys
285/70/16 - Land Rover Forums - Land Rover Enthusiast Forum
reckon that you'll need at least a 3 inch lift and trim guards.
Why do you want to go to 33's with no lift anyways?

Yep. Found them in the guide for Pirelli ATRs.
but if they won't fit not alot of point. Woops!
Ill check out the Maxxis

I have the 245/70/16 Latitude cross in EL version and am very happy with them, super quiet, grip is great especially wet roads. Best all round tyre I have driven on.
Master
A 285/70/16 is a 32" tyre, or 31.7 actually. A285/75/16 is the 33" version, so diameter is ok but the width may cause issues. Have a look at a set of 265's lock to lock and check the clearance. See how much wider the 285 is and you will get an idea of where it might or might not touch, or if you need different offset rims.
Good luck. Let us know how you go, sounds like an interesting size tyre. Will look chunky.

Where did you find that size? I did a search and the widest I could find was a 275/70/16 in the atr. I found the 285/75/16 which is the 33".

Turns out i was mistaken, and what i had found was the 285/75/16 which is what you found, listed under the pirelli website for the ATRs

You'll need 16x8 rims to fit them, I think yours may be 16x7's. These do require lift, you can get them on with a 2" lift but they will rub everywhere when test fitting and then the axle moves in the bushes when driving, you really need maybe 3" but 4" works. You wont need a guard trim to fit them. Most (but not all) are able to run a 2" lift with 265/75-16, you can run that tyre on the 16x7 rims and you don't get involved with all of the suspension complications that come with going beyond 2" lift. Then there is speedo correction and legalities just fyi.
