With 25" tires the ATV will travel 78.5" every one tire rotation and with 28" tires it will travel 88". The speedo has no idea what size tires the ATV has.

The ATV will travel farther than the odometer registers and will be traveling faster than the speed registers. 9% in this case.

If the speedo registers 40 mph with 28" tall tires the ATV will be traveling at 44 mph.
If the speedo registers 55 mph with 28" tall tires the ATV will be traveling at 60 mph.
