It would be very difficult to apply any kind of paint because it would crack
due to tire flexing.>>

Michael's right, but JCW and some parts stores carry "tire markers" 
for this purpose. Never tried it, but appears it would easily wash off... 
kind of like the "protective dye" new tires have on them.
Seen guys use it at car shows... most use white to "touch up" their old
(vintage) tires, but they seem to reapply every show.
