don't think you can get narrower....isn't the middle number in the tire size the width

we use 25x12.5x9 only one of our bikes but they will be wider.....only suggestion is going to a wrecker and getting some rims off a wrecked honda 300 4x4
they have 24x9x11 on the back (narrower)...put some 25-9-11 or something like that on them

i haven't seen any narrower without going smaller...which i assume is not what you wanna do!

the 12.5's worked a bit better.....hard to say
they were those chen shin tractor grip type tires
dunno what there proper name is

they worked ok.....they are a flatter tire...more area for grip

one of the best things you can do if you are worried about getting stuck is hit mud at speed, leaning back and bracing yourself!
momentum is what works best getting through mud.....those 4x4 guys have the traction....go hard....get in front of them....making it less muddy for you and cover them in mud at every opportunity you get!
