New Member, Tire Question

OK, so, I dusted off the old mt bike. My gut is getting too big, time to get in better shape. I am a little embarrassed at how badly out of shape I have gotten. No problem, I have a fluid trainer to get me more or less road worthy. I will be riding a mt bike mainly on the roads for a while, with the knobby tires, it is noisy as heck on the trainer. What slicks would be good to get? Been out of biking for years, so have no clue what companies are good these days.

I used to keep up with the latest and greatest, but not now. To put it in perceptive, I have Onza clipless pedals, and that newfangled V-Brake tech on my bike. And my bike is way older than the V-Brakes.

Never had slicks on my bike, anything to look into as far as width, brands... Local bike shop has rarely steered me wrong, just don't know what width of tire to get, what brands are good...

I hate to go shopping without some knowledge of what is optimal.

Thanks.
