Expert Reply:

According to pare 270 of the online version of the owner's manual for your 2015 Toyota 4Runner you should only install chains on the rear tires. I recommend checking your copy of the owner's manual to verify this.

If you currently don't have tire chains then I recommend using Class S compatible chains as the manual also states that the link thickness shouldn't exceed 5mm. For a tire size of 245/60-20 the only option available (as of February 2019) are the Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains # TC741DC. If you have size 265/70-17 tires then I recommend going with the Titan Chain Snow Tires Chains # TC2326 instead as they use square links in a diamond pattern for great traction at an affordable cost.

Videos of each tire chain option has been linked for you to reference.
