For your 265/70 R17 on your 2021 Jeep Gladiator, I recommend the Pewag Tire Chains item # PWE2228S. These heavy duty square-link chains are reversible. Square link chains provide the best traction in deep snow and since these are reversible they will last a long time.

I have linked a review video below along with a couple of pictures so you can see what these chains look like when installed on a Jeep Gladiator.
