Hi there noissee i get leaves like this on my Elms usually after a week of rain!!
I agree with Cheryl that it looks like too much water.
If a tree has mites (Red spider mite by the sounds of it) they wont do this to the leaves - the leaves usually have tiny whitish spots on them where the mites have been sucking nutrients through the leaves and at worst the leaves turn brown and die but the tree usually has to be totally covered in mites for this to happen. cheers Phil G.
