Hey Nick,
The Konig Tire Chains # TH01594245 you were looking at would fit your tires but I recommend the Pewag Servo RS Tire Chains # PWRS80 instead. These have both have super easy setups since they're self-tensioning but the Pewag has smaller gaps between the diamond patterns in the chains so you'll have more contact with the ground.
I've attached a short video below where Ethan will walk you through the installation process. I recommend practicing putting them on before you have to actually use them.

Hey Nick, how did the Pewag Servo RS chains work out on your Sprinter tires? Did the self-tensioning feature make it easier to get them ready for winter driving? Your update could make it easier for others choosing between these two chain styles.
