I'm sure the 400 is the same as the 750 3.25-19 on the front and 4.00-18 rear
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong

3.00 x 18 front, 3.50 x1 8 rear. I seem to remember you could  safely fit a 3.25 TT100 in the day though. Sure someone will confirm this. Wheel sizes are same as CB250/350 I think.

The 3.25 is a low profile tyre. You'd need a 3.60 or 4:10 on the rear to match.
