One thing i've noticed is that "gravel" in CO ain't really gravel. It's just high clay content packed dirt with a mag chloride cap to it. Hell, there are many communities in the US that wish their asphalt was a smooth as our dirt!!! That is to say that when i've been elsewhere (wisco, washington, oregon) and ridden their gravel.... whoa.... like swimming in a pea gravel garden. The wider the better i'd guess save for that mud clearance stipulation.
Good luck!
