Class S chains are designed for vehicles with more restricted clearances in the wheel wells. Class U chains are for vehicles with more wheel well clearances. If your owners manual calls for Class S you would not have the clearance for a Class U chain.

I attached a link to a page that will allow you to select your tire size and the correct S rated tire chains will be listed.
