Correct Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains for a 2019 Mazda CX-5

Question

Question:

Hello. The Konig website says to use size 247 on a 225/55-19 tire and size 245 on a 225/65-17 tire. I have both sets of tires for my 2019 Mazda CX-5 Signature. Since the overall tire size is pretty close between the two, can I just use the size 247 or size 245 on both sets of tires? Thanks.
