You ask a very good question.
Tire chains that are rated as S-Class compatible are suitable for use on passenger vehicles that have limited clearance in the wheel wells. Unlike a vehicle like a pickup truck that generally has a good bit of room inside the wheel wells, many passenger cars have little extra space around the tires. For these vehicles low-profile S-Class chains are often required by the auto maker. We always suggest reviewing your vehicle owner's manual for any guidance regarding chain use; if your manual says you need to use S-Class chains then you can select this type using the filters on the linked page.
The linked articles will give you good background on tire chains and the types available for your 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe.
For your 2008 Tahoe two stock tire sizes are offered, 265/70-17 and 275/55-20. To find suitable chains for these tires you can use the link provided and simply click on your tire size. You can look at the sidewall of your tires to find their size. For example, if you need S-Class chains for on-road use and have 265/70-17 size tires you could use Thule chains # TH01594267.
