I noticed where this is the case, it's on both sides of the tire.
The rear tire which I have not removed, does not look like this. Both pics attached in this thread are from the same tire, the rear tire.
As noted already the tire is not seated correctly. Not all tires have the parallel lines you refer to, but if you notice there is also a raised ridge of rubber that is right next to the rim. That is present on pretty much all tires, commonly called a bead ridge/line. It should indeed be the same distance from the rim all the way around. You first need to make sure that nowhere on the tire is the bead line out from the rim like the area you showed is inward.
If everything is even except for that area there are two methods for seating the tire correctly. One is to deflate the tire and then apply something on the area that is too far in. You don't have to remove the tire - just push it in to create a gap between tire and rim). I have seen soapy water, alcohol, various other things suggested - I use something like Fantastic, 409 or similar. Reinflate the tire till the bead pops out - not uncommon to have to inflate well over the usual pressure. some have success merely overinflating. Some shops have a Park tool which allows one to grab the tire and pull out the problem area.
