No matter whether DPS is responding timely or not at any given time, I don't see a reason not to renew as soon as eligible.
The expiration date is the same regardless, so why chance it? That being said you're actually eligible 180 days prior to expiration, not exactly 6 months...darn those pesky 31 day months!
