Not sure about the pressure but ideally you'd want 195/45/16 tyres on the mondeo alloys to keep the speedo in check. Thats what i have on mine :)

 

 

Cool cheers, im gonna wait til payday and might treat myself to new tyres then, I did notice that when i used a sat nav and when i went past the speedcheck road signs they told me i was doing 5mph sloewr then my needle was telling me i was doing with my old alloys on. They new alloys look better now though they are the 5 spokes with the center cap over the nuts up to the old triangle ones that come on the finess escorts. (pics will go up soon when i take some)

The escort speedos can be rather inaccurate anyway,depending on the general age of the speedo cable, as well as the fuel gauge. I wouldn't worry too much about the new different size of tyres - any difference they make to the speedo is minimal (+-1mph).
