   The guy from American Tire came out and showed me where the boot split   
   between the accordians, but even he admitted the boot looks new. He   
   also said, however, that it wasn't anything they did, because they   
   don't do anything that would touch the boot.   
      
   He also said that doesn't explain why the brake pedal went to the   
   floor board, and he asked to see the brake resevoir under the hood,   
   b/c I told him it was full and that was hard to believe since it was   
   behaving as if the fluid leaked out. He saw it was indeed full, and   
   there doesn't seem to be any leaks anywhere, (aside from the split CV   
   boot/grease). So he was stumped.   
      
   I'm taking it to a toyota repair place tomorrow... I told him if the   
   repair place tells me it looks like something that happened when the   
   tires were put on, that I would like to be compensated. But if it was   
   just coincidental.... then that's that.   
      
   I find it very hard to believe the boot split when its fairly new, and   
   it had nothing to do with getting the tires... but I also have no   
   proof and I don't want to blame anyone unfairly. :(
