Bleeding Paselas

Sorry for the click-baity sounding title, but it's actually a fitting description.

As some of you might remember, I recently decided to try some wider (700 x 35) tires on my wet weather bike, and they have been great. The only small issue (and it's not a functional issue, so nothing serious), is that the dye from the treads seems to be bleeding down onto the sidewalls (see pics).

Has anyone else experienced this? I think it was raining the very first time I used the tires, so that might be part of it, and I also noticed that the perimeter of the black dye/paint is slightly uneven in spots (noticeable when the wheels are spinning in the stand). Are these hand painted?
