The Greybeards Questline

When should I start the main quest in Skyrim?

Usually around level 90 or so it's time to wake up on that Prison cart outside Helgen again. I do occasionally play a more assassin-type and do the TG/DB questline, but I generally prefer morally benevolent, honorable characters. And sneaking around gets boring and trivializes combat in this game.
