Service wrote. Right inner cv boot clamp loosing slinging grease cleaned
Up grease. Tires all 7/32. Brakes front 10- b. rear 8-b.
Passed inspection.
Service manager said don't repair boot until it breaks. Or
Wait until early next year.
Comments please. Should or can I just have the boot replaced
And save the joint?
Is 7/32 ok for the tires
Comment on the brakes. I would have thought the fronts would wear
Out faster than the rears.
This is a daily driver car 1,000 miles a month per month.
Thank you,
Jinx

Check the rules with Boxsters and helmet clearance.
A lot of groups require the broomstick test -- that is sitting in the car
with your helmet on, can you run a broomstick over your roll bar to your windshield
and not touch your helmet.
In the unlikely event of a roll over -- you certainly don't want your helmet acting like a roll bar.
Find the Chief Driving Instructor for your group that you are running with and ask what their rules are if they are not clearly stated somewhere.
You have plenty of tire -- in fact too much :-) More importantly -- how old are they and are there any signs of cracking on the sidewalls, esp near the tread line.
I like to have a fresh oil change and run thick oil -- (especially in August)
Make sure your radiators are cleared of any debris.
Check your power steering fluid level. Inspect your serpentine belt and clean replace your air filter.
Have fun,
