Default Snow Chain Question

Planning a trip to Yosemite in early February and most likely will encounter snow and/or mandatory chains by the Cal Hwy Patrol.

Does anybody know of a tire chain or cable that would work on my 265/35-18 tires (ie. GS400)? It looks like SCC makes an inexpesive set of cables that work with that tire size. I'm simply looking for someone that can validate the use of cables on that low profile tire. I don't want to scratch up my wheels or have the cables slap around the fender wells.


Any first hand experience, recommendations or comments?

Thanks,
