I'm pretty sure the snow tires can come off now...
Try to fix it yourself with the methods mentioned above. If it doesn't look suitable, take it to a shop...

that's just from 2 weeks of highway driving, not worth getting the whole bumper painted every 2 weeks

Good grief! I did EXACTLY the same thing as you! Same damage. Clipped the edge of a high curb on the passenger side. Just sickening!! I fixed it myself. Bondo glazing putty (two part) filling the big scratches, high build surfacer primer (multiple coats until all the scratches disappeared) sanding with several grades of wet/dry paper, and finally, OEM SS touch-up painted thinned with lacquer thinner and sprayed with an airbrush. After polishing, the wound is healed. You can do it.

high build surface primer - what brand, how much
several grades wet/dry sandpaper - what grit/grades
oem touch-up paint - where'd you get it from?
instructions and pics?

i had them repaint just the surrounding area and burn the clear coat in with the rest instead of reclearing the whole bumper when my clearbra tore a section of paint off my rear bumper. i think i got it fixed for around $175
good luck
