I put Dunlop ScootSmarts on mine last year, they are nice! I've only put 1,000 miles on them, but they handle and ride nice.

The important thing to consider is, there is no radial tires made/available for rear fitment on "any model year of the Burgman 400" because of rim size, so your choices of tires are limited, my top choice for highway use is a Michelin product, but not in my budget 
, so Shinko's SR567/568 are fitted to both my Maxi scooters, love them, but most top manufacturers offer good choices, research is your friend. A tire opinion thread is just like an oil thread, in either case you get more confused as it progresses

(But he uses Shinkos because of $$$ cosiderations).
3. Bridgestone is MY choice - NOTHING beats them (IMHO).....
Next poster after this will probably vote for Pirellis.....🤞
B400 rear size, 150/70-13 is, I think, available only as a "64S" rated (112 mph) tyre.
My supplier of choice has Avon AM63, Bridgestone SC1 and B02, Michelin SC and City Grip 2, and Pirreli Diablo Rosso in that size. Customer ratings across them all are a low of 4.2 to a high of 4.9 ( Out of 5 max).
In other words - virtually nothing in it.
I rest @zrx212 's ( and my) case.
One thing to add.
No matter what tire you pick, do not test air pressuer with a "Dollar Store" pressure gauge. Spend $25 to $45 for a good gauge. Look at the reviews for accuracy.
DO NOT TRUST GAS STATION AIR GAUGES!!! They are fine to get in the ball park but test with your own after filling.
I like the JACO brand. The "Elite Pro 100PSI" unit has been very good for the last 10 years. At $23 and a 5% off coupon at Amazon its a good unit. Has a finger button to release air if you over inflate.
Has +/- 1.5% accuracy, at 32 PSI that is 32.48 PSI high and 31.52 PSI low but checking with other gauges I have found it tends to be on the high side by a quarter pound and that does not matter to me.
Some of the 20 or so pencil gauges I have had are up to 5 PSI high so when you think you put 32 PSI in, you have about 27 PSI and that matters a lot.
