Might have to paint it on yourself.
Try and get some Tamiya polycarb paint (meant for rc cars).
Its flexible, hard wearing and fuel resistant.

The V8 Super cars use blank tyres but before a major race they pull out a stencil and paint on the brand of tyre. i think you might have to make up your own

Bridgestone Eagers used to have white writing on one side. You could have the tyre fitted each way, depending on your personal preference (writing or no writing).

Good tyres they were.....I had a set on my first Torrie 8)
