I took a look at the owner's manual for the 2016 Escalade, and saw that Cadillac specifically states that tire chains aren't recommended because of the lack of clearance to the inside of the wheels.

I'd recommend contacting your Cadillac dealer, so see if you can get some clarification on the advice mentioned in the owner's manual. Class S chains might be acceptable. Class S chains protrude to the inside of the tire by no more than 15mm.

If the dealer gives you the green light on Class Schains, The Titan Alloy Snow Chains you referenced, part # TC2327 have a maximum link thickness of 3.7mm, which is lots of clearance.

I've linked you to our Tire Chain FAQ article, which I hope you'll find helpful.
