We can definitely find some tire chains that work for you. Unfortunately, we do not have any cable chains that fit your vehicle available at the moment. My recommended tire chains for your 2020 Ford Escape are the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit XL - Size K56, part # th02230k56. They are a S-class tire chain, which means they are suitable for passenger vehicles with limited clearance in the wheel wells. Since they are only covering the tread, and not the rear of the tire, you eliminate any interference that may occur between brake lines and other things behind the wheel.

Another option is the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains for SUVs and Crossover Vehicles - XG12 Pro - Size 247, part # TH01594247. This is also a S-class tire chain. It does not come with ice spikes or the level of rim protection as the previous model. It does come in at a slightly better price point.

I do know you came to our website looking for cables, but do keep in mind that chains do perform better in snow and ice than cables do. They also are more durable, so they will be available for you to use in more winters than cables would.

I have included product description links and a video installation link below.
