I understand the standard tire size for the vehicle 205/45R17 for the 17in wheels, but I purchased a 215/50R17. Once I started to drive it I felt the regen was off. The larger tire was amazing difference with the pot holes and bumps in the city, but I feel the regen is off. Is this possible? Has anyone changed the size of the tires to a larger one?
 
My experience with much larger tires is that there is less compression braking and more brake pedal pressure required because of the longer tire moment arm. Also your actual speed is more than the indicated.

Dunno if your size difference matters. What is the % difference in the tire size (diameter or circumference).
