Looking for a thin 29" UST tyre

I have a Shimano mtb66 29" wheel on my CX bike. Currently running sammy slick cyclocross tyres on it.
I'd like to try out UST tubeless which the wheels support but think I'll need fairly small wheels for clearance. The sammy slicks are 1.35".
Are there any UST tyres of about this size. I've looked quite a bit but can't find any?
Thanks.

Afaik UST doesn't really exist for road/CX tyres. They use 'road tubeless' instead, which seems to be a similar principle but less weight/sidewall stiffness and require sealant.0

Yeah, so I'm trying to find some thin 29" mtb tyres, I reckon even 1.5" would have clearance. Can't find any though.FCN 9 || FCN 50

It's not going to happen I'm afraid, because road tubeless exists, and also because UST would probably be pretty rubbish for skinnier tyres.0

Okay, feared as much. Thanks.
Guess I'll just go with some sealant in the inner tube implementation.FCN 9 || FCN 50
