Snow chains/cables recommendations?

[TacoMoFo]

I live in CA and the snow season is about to begin. Mountain roads to the ski resorts sometimes require snow chains and I am clueless whether I should get chains, cables or socks for my 2025 Tacoma OR. What are the pros and cons of each? Also, how will I know if the traction device I choose will fit my 35 x 12.5 R17 tires? The specs on some of the chains I've seen so far don't provide tire fitment info. Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

Oftentimes those requirements are for non-4x4 vehicles, but I don't know CA specifically. My old truck had winter tires all around and it was a beast in the snow. Had no trouble going through the pass.

I live in CA, and will swear by snow socks. I was very hesitant, because they looked so flimsy, but they actually work, and were the easiest to put on and take off. This was for a sedan I had previously, but yeah I'm hoping they aren't required for my new tacoma. If they are, I'll be getting a set of socks.

Probably something like these:

say they fit my 285/70/17s:

EDIT: looks like the 4XLarge's are your size:
