Not original commenter, but I'd typically recommend Specialized Fat Boys. With that being said, I wouldn't spend that much money on slicks for that bike, I'd save as much money as possible for your next bike. I'd go with some cheaper Kendas and just ride that bike till it dies.
I mean if you got it for cheap it is in terms of being a great bike to ride and own, vintage MTBs like this tend to be undervalued for the quality of bike and how versatile they can be, they tend to be a lot better on the road and for commuting than a modern mountain bike. The quality of the frame tubes, drivetrain parts, bearings etc (except maybe the front wheel) you'd wouldn't see on new bikes cheaper than $600-700.
Unless you're using it mostly for off-road riding I'd suggest getting a pair of slick tires for it, these are cheap price for a pair and will fit your bike, that will make a big difference to the way it rides, by far the biggest improvement you can make to a bike like this.
