Do you think that cables would fit if an emergency arises and you get hit by a snow storm?

Default No.
They don't really even fit on the stock wheels (it says so in the manual -- don't use chains!).

Default No, cable chains are still chains...
None are recommended on the S4. If you're gonna be in snow country... get snow tires.
