a few ways to add them to existing tyres

proper way where existing black is ruffed up and white rubber vulcanized on - haven't heard of anyone doing that in years

painting with white paint/ spray can - looks ok for a few months then starts cracking/ pealing but cheap

or

if you have white letters on the side wall then have a look here

Cant recall the brand, but you can buy a paint designed for tyres so no cracking.
if no suggestions here perhaps approach a local hotrod club and see if they know. Several places used to be up here who did it.
Cant believe im still a member here.
