Quit rubbing your tires on the curb !!! 
Best way to keep the letters ....
Simple Green is the best to clean white letters that are not worn/fading.
Spray on ...a little scrub and presto .... Beyooteeful again ...

Tire Cleaner
I used to use Westley's Bleech-White. Works like a charm. It's pretty powerful and always works great.
Since, I have been using Bombardier (Johnson/Evinrude) marine cleaner. It's about $6.99 a bottle and a few squirts and a couple rubs with a tire brush and you're golden!

Dig under your kitchen sink. Bust out the Comet and a scrub brush. Wet tires, toss a good mound of comet on your brush, and scrub a little. Rinse well. Tires look like the day you picked it up off the lot.

Those all sound like good things to try.....also, there is a product called Wesley's Bleach White. Made for exactly that purpose.

to answer the original question, if you scrub the tires with the aforementioned COmet first, you may find that white comes back. If you scrape your tires on the sidewalk, the black rubber gets smeared on the white.
Clean first before you decide to paint the tires.

Bleache-White and a copper brush, works great for me. The white lettering pen is available at JC Whitney if your letters have actually worn off but I have never seen that before either. Try cleaning them first.
