I'm with Fraser and Weasel; I would go for a narrower tire based on my experience in soft sand (and deep snow).
I am trying to imagine the diameter of a tire with a 2" wide and 25" long contact patch. Would that be something like a 10' or 12' diameter wheel? Taken to such an extreme, the contact patch actually would be pretty much like a flat board.
