The only snow tire cable/chains that will fit both 245/70/17 and 245/75/17 sized tires is the Glacier Cable #PW3010C Snow Tire Chains. These are low-profile Class-S cables designed to fit vehicles with very little wheel well clearance, and are constructed of low-carbon case steel. Thesse will give you traction in light snow. We recommend # PW105 rubber adjusters to help keep the chains tight and centered.

Please check your vehicle owners manual for any restrictions or requirements for using snow chains, some vehicle manufacturers require that a minimal clearance style of snow chains are used. Furthermore some vehicle manufacturers prohibit the use of snow chains, and there are alternative traction devices that can be used.

I have included links to a several helpful articles about both snow chains and snow cables for your reference, and a video the tire chains that you referenced.
