Default Tyre Paint?

I'm looking for some white tyre paint so I can repaint the writing on my Bridgestone Eagers....Anyone know if it is available in a paint pen? If so who stocks it?
Cheers.

You do not paint them as such, they used to make Tyre marking sticks which were a sort of soft chalk, maybe they still make them.

You can also finely sand the letters if they have not been done too much before lol

The lettering on my Eagers are pretty worn so a light sanding wouldn't work....Thats why I thought about tyre paint.

or try a paint marker... like the ones they use in metalwork etc... the ones you shake up, or try some white touch up paint...
