How'd you get those #'s?

Embarrass me if you will. My calc's are:

225x2x.5=225mm/25.4=8.86".

215x2x.55=236.5mm/9.31".

8.86/9.31=0.95 or about 5% change in diameter.

9.31-8.86=0.45"x3.17=1.43"/revolution. So what the hell am I saying? I think it's a 5% change in circumference so 60mph on the speedo is a real 57mph. Maybe my long division became wrong division somewhere.
