For the 315/40-21 tires on your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 AMG43, I'd recommend the Konig
K-Summit Self Tensioning Tire Chains, part # TH02230K77. The chains are self-tensioning, which means that once you put the chain on top of the tire and attach the chain assembly to the lug nut, the chain will center and tighten to the tire as you drive off. Probably the nicest feature of the chain is that it won't contact the wheel and damage it, it'll contact the lug nut/bolt and the tire itself only. The chain is compatible with 17,19,21 and 22 mm lug nuts/bolts.

Before using tire chains, be sure to check your owner's manual for any prohibitions/recommendations regarding tire chain use. These chains are Class S compatible, and will allow a minimum of 37 mm of clearance between the top of the tire and the underside of the wheel well and 15 mm between the inside sidewall of the tire and the vehicle.
