The rubber would not be suffecient. The safety of too many families is at risk by adding stuff not needed in a tire too, without undergoing all kinds of tests, you don't know how the other elements of the tire will react with different coloring! Not to mention the fact of what most people drive their cars on....Streets (Or sometimes dirt/mud). With everything you drive on, Tires wouldn't look good anyways!
Whitewall tires are tires that have a stripe of white rubber on the outer sidewalls. The early tires were made with rubber that is naturally white. However, the white rubber did not offer sufficient traction and endurance so carbon black was added to the rubber used for the treads. This resulted in tires with both sidewalls of white rubber. Next came the tires built with all black rubber and white rubber was added to make the whitewalls. The original whitewalls featured an entirely white sidewall. Modern whitewall tires often have a thin white stripe, or white raised lettering identifying the tire manufacturer and tire model. Such tires were made with a full strip of white rubber under the black. The raised white letters were revealed by buffing the cured tire sidewall. The black covering strip was made of Neoprene (polychloroprene) to avoid staining.

They'd be black from the grime on the road anyway. The sidewall would be the only thing to retain the color.

adding color to change the original black rubber lowers the strength of the tire material and ends up black any way from using it on the road

That's a good question? Why not blue, red, purple, orange, etc. tires?
My guess is that black is the standard color because road dirt and brake dust would quickly turn any color but black into brown and dirty.

carbon is one of the things added to the rubber to make the tires wear longer. it is black.
