Default Snow tire chains

Can someone please recommend a set of snow tire CHAINS (per the manual, cables are now allowed). Search results didn't return much.

I own a 2015 RWD, tire size are P235/45R18. I live in SoCal and would like to hit the mountain roads for some snowboarding and want to have the chains with me in case they are needed/required by CHP.

No luck on Amazon / Autozone / etc.

Thanks in advance.

These are cables, but I used this exact size last year on my IS250 255/40/18 while going up to Bear. They worked perfectly fine. I picked them at the Highland Walmart right when you exit the 210 to head up to Bear.

I used pretty much the same as above years ago on FWD, easy to put on and take off but make sure they tight good, otherwise you might damage rear quarter panel if they come loose. I recommend to drive less then mile after you put them on then tight them again...

I use Autosock as it's sold by the Lexus dealers in Western Washington. It is approved by the state to use when chains are required.
I can't comment on their use, however, as I've never used them since I have an AWD.
