2" wider in the rear no sweat, 2" wider in the front might get ugly when turning.

I ride a 650P & have been running 26x12x12 in the rear, 26x9x12 in the front and don't get muddy.
The stoock Prarie tires are pretty narrow so you may be safe.

Why would this matter?
Well for myself I am carrying my bow in my lap heading to the stand, so the less mud thrown my way the better.
