that would look gross, and second it will prolly rub, and 3rd its going to loose power.

just get a set of 22" rear razr2's and 23" frounts,, and i bet you wont get stuck again.

i would just worry about power loss, but you could re-gear. its going to handle odd with 25" rears, and 22" frounts, it might want to push or have a roll in feeling on the frount end.

come on man you got a sport bike, dont you want to drive it like one?

im telling ya. razr2's are insane in rocks, and mud, sand, and dirt, they hook everyware. take a look at my tires in my camera icon. they have a HUGE sidewall wrap. i have yet to be stuck with them, even high centered they bite in on the side walls.

when you say mud, how deep and what kind are we talking? watery, or soup like stuff.

some good sport quad rear tires are.

all-traks
spider tracs.
Bear claws ( my pick light weight, and good traction, and in 22")
sand tires unlimited- 22" dont go by the name, they have a mean tread for mud.

i would say from useing razr2s that they are the best tire you can get. i like them better then xct, xcr, hd, and regular holeshots, so much better bite everyware, my friends with holeshots all say they want razr2's and rightfully so.

my friend has a 04 warrior with 22" frount and rear holeshot XCR's i have 20" rears, and 22 frounts, i could GO FARTHER in the deep snow then him, with less ground clearance, and a smaller tire. the razr2s sidewall has deep tread on it, and they bite and and find traction, never had a flat, and these tires ride nice. just watch when you come out of a corner on the gas near a berm, useualy the stock tires would slide or such, but the 2's grab like crazy and almost have a pull you off the seat kinda feel.

im not bike for ute tires on sport bikes, to me it throws the geometry off, and honestly i wouldnt go bigger then 20s in the rear for my likeing, and 1-2 inches bigger in the frount (at the minimum, and most) i if i could get away with it i would run 18's and 19s but they just arent for woods, remember the smaller rear tire, the better (more) torque you are going to have. a little bigger frount tire then rear will allow the bike to glide over rocks and such. when its time for me to replace my tires im going with 21 frounts and 20 rear razr2s i think the 22" frount is ok, but i would like to try the 21 for something different.

One more thing to consider, if your concerned about high center, do you have aftermarket skid plates? I have a 97 EX with original stock tires, but I do have full skid plates. I still suprise the 4x4's when they see me go through the same holes they do, and they can't believe it with the P.O.S. tires I have.
