Bikes: Waiting to pick up my Trek 8.3 DS - its paid for

New Tread

Hey,
I have a Trek DS and currently have the 700x38c tires on there. They roll very well and I really like them when I am on pavement or a light trail. I do not think I am getting the most out of the bike. When trying to go up hill on a trail my tires slip and especially going downhill while braking, not very fun. So my next question is, what tires do you run? I have looked at different tread lately and have found some good options.

-This tire in the 42c

This tire is a 35c

I have looked at the cyclocross tires which seem pretty sweet. Cross tires are mainly in the 33c or thinner. Have you guys checked them out? I just started reading their posts and they are pretty sick! Seems like thats what I thought my hybrid could do out of the box, and which I am trying to achieve little by little. \

Pretty much I just want to know what kind of you guys are running.
THanks
