Question about ATV tires....Kenda or ITP

I have a 2004 Honda Rancher 400. At some point I need to replace the tires. My question revolves around tire width. The stock tires on front are 24" 8 x 12 and rear is 24" 10 x 11. I am going to put 25" tires all around. My question is, would it harm the drivetrain if I put 10 inch wide tires on front? Since I am going up a size in height of tire, can I put a wider tire on the front without doing potential damage to engine and transmission? I have read that larger tires can put strain on a machine, if it was originally engineered for smaller tires. The tires that I am considering are ITP Mud Lites. I have read they are a lighter tire, so that should help too right?

I am not planning to be a daredevil and run the machine "all out" through neck deep mud. Just up and down muddy roads and trails in Woodville at the deer camp. I am considering putting a wider tire in the front for extra traction. There seems to be enough room for a wider tire in front, should be no rubbing on anything, shocks, fender brace, etc.

Thanks in advance for any experience and or opinions you can share with me.

Edit....never pulled the trigger on tires back in January. Looking again and trying to decide between Kenda K299 and ITP Mud Lites. Any experience or opinions about these two brands?
