Tire markers

What kind of markers are used by tire stores to mark the position of the tire? I've tried a couple different markers and haven't been totally happy with them. Seems the ones tire stores use, Les Schwab for example, last quite a while but are easily rubbed out after a rotation.

Why do you need to mark the tire and have it not rub off?

I mark the position on the vehicle, RF, LF, RR, LR. Since I have multiple sets of wheels and tires. So I like to get them in the right positions. Do you know what markers tire stores use. The marks last a long time...but not too long. Some kind of chalk or something similar. I thought I ask here on the forum but if nobody knows I'll swing by the tire store and ask them. I'll report back when I find out what they use.
