The tire chains I recommend are the Thule Self Tensioning, Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains # TH04115060. These chains have a very easy installation process and are self-tensioning. In addition to the easy installation, the chains release with the push of a button, allowing you to spend minimal time outside your car to put on and take off the chains. The Low-Pro tire chains are Class S compatible and feature nylon bumpers and a liner to protect your vehicle's rims. For your vehicle, these tire chains are size 060.

I have attached a review video of these chains for you.

Based on the information in the 2014 Ford Escape's owner's manual the tire chains need to be placed on the front tires. I recommend checking your owner's manual for any additional guidelines to using tire chains on your Escape.
