Yeah, I agree with the others, it's rim grime spreading outwards, not the treads bleeding color. It's pretty common on tan sidewalls in general. I just scrub them occasionally, when it starts to bug me. It happens the most after riding in the rain, so if this is your wet weather bike, you are going to see this pretty constantly.
