Leaky UST tyres
I have an issue with my UST Crossmark tyre.
Few weeks ago I found that they had a few tiny holes in it. I could see the bubbles of air through the water after I washed my bike. So I ordered some Stan's solution as I thought that should seal these little holes up.
However they tyre still seems to be leaking?! I just wet the tyre again and I can still hear and see the little bubbles of air through the water. 
What gives? I followed all the instructions on the Stan's bottle.....shake upside down, one scoop etc.
Any ideas why my tyre is still losing air?
Allround tyres
I used to ride to work with semi slick tyres (Maxxis Overdrives) on my hardtail and these were pretty good in term of weight, rolling resistance, puncture resistance and they held up well on wet and slippery pavement corners.
The problem I have is that I want to ride offroad also eg on the weekends and not have to change tyres all the time and I don't have the money to buy another lightweight wheelset with matching XT disc rotors and cassette so I can have one set with slicks and one with knobblies.
Torn sidewall
Well just realised I had a torn sidewall upon finishing my ride today. Was a nice lightweight Crossmark Exception too 
Only had done a few hundred km on it. They sure are skinny sidewalls on the Exception series. The most abuse this tyre got would have been going down Andersons.
Luckily it didn't blow out on the trail. I just saw the tube bubble out a bit when I got home.
