26x1.5, or so, is a good size for slick tires.
You can also go with somewhat larger tires. 26x2.0
Make sure the sizes are written in decimals (MTB tires) (ISO 559), and you should be fine. Avoid tires with sizes written in fractions.
No need for bumpy tires on the road.

Your rims will accept a range of tire widths, probably from 26x1.3 up to 26x2.1. For road use only you don't need knobby tires, or even tread; so a slick tire would be the fastest choice. For road only, I used to recommend Primo Comets, but that was when they were $25-30, not at their current going price of 50 or 60 bucks.
If you keep the new tires close to the size of your old tires, you can re-use the tubes. Just be careful to not damage them when you're dismounting the old tires or mounting the new ones.

Bikepedia lists the Trek 830 as having been made each year between 1993 and 1997. 1997 Trek 830 - BikePedia The prices on eBay where three show up are from $79 to $330 for a refurbished one. That's nuts being pretty close to the original price for the bike. In any case, you can find a good selection of reasonably priced tires and tubes for your bike at Niagara Cycle mail order bike store. That's where I buy my tires for such bikes. Here's a $15 tire that I have used on several bikes https://www.niagaracycle.com/categor...95-black-black It has enough tread for a wet road but none of the noise and vibration of a knobby tire. Tubes for this tire run as little as $3 for the Schrader valve https://www.niagaracycle.com/categor...schrader-valve or $3.49 for the presta valve version https://www.niagaracycle.com/categor...m-presta-valve. I usually order a couple of tubes when I buy a pair of tires as it doesn't add much to the shipping fee.
