Yes, the Konig # TH2004705255 Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains are the best choice for your tire size. This product will give you the best performance. This includes the "self-tensioning" feature that means you don't have to check on them as much, and the diamond pattern puts more chain on the road compared to ladder-style chains. By the way, the ladder-style chains ride much more roughly. they are speed rated to 30 mph as is your GLE.
Be sure that there is ample clearance between the top of your tires and the wheel wells, and the inside wall of the tire and suspension and brake components. For your GLE only put chains on the rear wheels. Please review your owner's manual for additional guidance, particularly the "raised vehicle level" option is so equipped.
I have included a link to a video review of these chains and an installation demonstration.
