I understand that carbon is black so we end up with black tires. But black has max conductivity, so wouldn’t there be a possibility of overheating and bursting? Why don’t we have coat it with coloring agents so it’s with a color that’s thermally less conductive?

In short, two reasons: it adds cost for a useless feature, and it wouldn’t be stable over time.
And there are colored car tires, but they don’t last very long, and I’m not even sure if they’re street legal (not due to color but the tire itself).
