Rubbish, find a local trusted tyre dealer, there are several
near me that I'd trust the opinion on (and have done, they were
the ones that have plugged tyres for me versus telling me I
needed a new tyre).
The date code of 4 digits will be in a rounded rectangle,
probably near other codes made up of letters. If your tyre does
not have this, it may be older than 2000, in which case it may
only have 3, with an additional symbol.

IMO on a regularly used car I would not trust any tyre more than
10 years old, although a 10 year old Michelin is going to
perform better than a 10 year old Chinese brand, along with lots
of other environmental factors including how they have been
stored.

I have had two tyres 'plugged' over the last few years and each
time I viewed then as a 'get home' solution to be fixed ASAP,
you ever heard of the saying
"What price your neck"?
