Owners Manual says no snow chains on 265/70R18 tires. Anyone use cables that will work without damaging?

I would question why we cannot use chains or cables? I think that deserves a call to Toyota Technical Services. They will probably say that if they come loose they will damage the vehicle.
Probably risk management being put into practice. But I digress.

To be fair, there's not a TON of clearance on the 4runner when it comes to chains. It's doable, but I'd be careful about what chains I used.

That's exactly why I mentioned cables. Cables are lower profile and fit tighter on the tire. Years back I had a Mercedes that would only take cables and a BMW was the same way. Never had to use any on those cars, but it was mentioned cables only!. No longer have either one.
