As to the tire date code, it's the four digits after the DOT tire code. The first two digits of the tire date code correspond to the week of manufacture. The second two digits are the last two digits of the year. For example, 3508 would mean the tire was manufactured in the 38th week of 2008.
For your information, I now understand that it's against the law in Britain to sell tires over six (6) years old (prior to this week in 2003). US DOT doesn't have any thing like that yet, but when you go to get a new set of tires, watch the date and ask for tires as "young" as possible.
