I hope you are trolling instead of being serious. The OP painted his, but you can get tires with colored lettering. Check out the tire companies websites'. That would have taken less time than signing into the forum to post a question and wait for an answer, lol!

I used to do this on my sport bikes, track bikes and one of my old cars. It works best on tires that aren't brand new. It will last a while on a DD depending on your driving habits. If you track your car it cuts paints life way down due to the heat cycling (white will turn light brown). Be prepared to spend a good amount of time applying it initially (2 coats for best results) and doing touch ups and upkeep. White is hardest color to keep looking fresh and clean.

Any paint marker found at an arts and crafts store will work. It's semi permanent, in that you may have to touch up the paint after a few months depending on weather and road conditions sun fading or cracking the paint. Otherwise you should be good to go.

There are a couple companies that make tire stickers made of rubber. They have permanent/semi permanent options. You basically just glue the letters one-by-one to the sidewall. Any type of white lettering on your tires will eventually brown. Using the tire paint pens will brown much faster than using tire stickers. Paint pens may stay white a few days to a couple weeks, depending on how often you drive/how clean the road is you're driving on/how well you prepped the tire before application.

Here's my car at a track day this past spring. I had finished the rear tires the day before, and they had already turned brown from the surface I was driving on. The fronts stood up just fine.
