I'd say Ya me cansé de manejar. Although if you're not talking to a Mexican, you'll want to substitute conducir for manejar.

Your translation is correct, and it's a literal translation: "I'm tired of = Estoy cansado de", but I think using "Ya me cansé de" sounds more natural, at least in Mexican Spanish.

I thought Estoy harto de conducir/manejar but the meaning is different.
Estoy harto would mean I'm tired of driving in general. (meaning I would just as soon never drive again)
