not gonna happen, pretty much you have to get passenger tires or vogues which are damn expensive. what you can do is get a bleach pen and try and bleach them white, don't know if it will work though.

im not sure what kind of paint will work on the tires. maybe try some of the paint for r/c car lexan bodies thats designed to flex.

take an unused cigarette butt, dip it in the paint, and carefully dab it to the raised letters you want white...it works really well for model tires, i figure it'll work for some thing that much bigger...

heres a link to the paint im talking about...
r/c car paint
