Expert Reply:
The first thing you need to do is check the owners manual of your Mercedes S55 2005 to determine if there are any restrictions on snow chain/cable usage.
The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW1042 you referenced are confirmed to fit your tire size.
What I think would be your best overall option would be the part # TC1553 though as it is a chain that will provide much superior traction, will install easier, and will last longer. Cables don't usually work well past the first time they are used.
