You can purchase stencils to paint on the lettering yourself.
Tire Lettering Stencils : RACELINE DIGITAL, Hull and Deck Graphics | Motorsport Graphics

I have heard of some people using Ranger brand tire paint with them, but there has been some experimenting with different paint, as well. Regardless, expect some eventual crazing/cracking due to sidewall flexing. It's common to the race cars though, so not a big deal as far as I am concerned.

You can also purchase "stick on" Billboard letters. They stand in relief compared to the painted letters, so not everyones cup of tea.

I don't know why the heck Goodyear just don't produce good modern DOT approved radial tires, with the Billboard lettering. It's not only Cobra owners that would buy them. It's so odd they haven't thought of that..?
