New Tire Question: Trek Marlin 7

Hey how is everyone? So I'm pretty new to this and I bought a Trek Marlin 7 about a month ago that I've been commuting to and from work (about 10 miles a day) with the stock tires Bontrager XR2 (29 x 2) tires on a 29er frame. The current rims are Bontrager AT-650 and the current tires are mountain bike tires and was looking to put some type of durable road tire or hybrid tire on them. I seriously have no idea what I'm doing and I don't know what size tires I would need to get for those wheels. Any help would be appreciated.

Take a look at 700X32 up to 700X40. They will fit. 700 is the same diameter as 29.

I'm not familiar with that Trek model, but I bet the Clement X'plor tire would be worth considering. https://bit.ly/1RJsBkx

I am a fan of the Panaracer Pacela PT's. You can get them in a 28 or 32mm.
