Boise and Tucson are about 837 miles apart by road. Split the difference and you arrive near Las Vegas, the city closest to the halfway point between them. That puts roughly 10 hr 51 min of driving on the Boise side and 7 hr 35 min on the Tucson side — the fairest single meeting point among the cities near the middle.
Over this distance most people will fly rather than drive the whole way. Las Vegas still makes a fair, central place for Boise and Tucson to converge, splitting the travel instead of asking one side to cross the country.
If Las Vegas doesn't have what you're after, Salt Lake City and Phoenix are also close to the midpoint and worth a look — each keeps the drive reasonably balanced between Boise and Tucson.
