The Thule tire chains you referenced, part # TH01571265, offer D-link construction for traction and are made from a high-quality manganese-nickel alloy steel that resists corrosion. They have built-in tensioners and are S-Class chains suitable for on-road-use only.
We offer many tire chain options for the 265/65-17 size tires on your 2004 Toyota Tundra that can be seen by clicking on the helpful link provided. A great starting point for you is a review of your Tundra owner's manual to see if Toyota has any guidance or restrictions about chain use on the truck. Some vehicles can use only low-clearance S-Class chains.
The two linked articles will also give you great background on the types of chains available. We offer both on-road-only chains and chains that are usable both on- and off-road as well as different types of chain construction for specialized applications.
For severe off-road use I suggest the Pewag All Square Mud Service Snow Tire Chains # PWE2439S which feature square 7-mm-thick links that provide superior grip on snow, ice or mud.
Thule also offers an on-and-off-road chain set, their Diamond Pattern XB16 part # TH01571265, that features built-in rubber tensioners and dual-sided D-shaped links.
Videos for the referenced chains are also linked for your review.
Tire chains can vary a lot in how easy they are to install and adjust. Chains that are a challenge to install will tend not to get used as much and so they will tend to do you no good. I suggest investing in chains that provide automatic tensioning since these will be easier to use and will tend to get used more.
