They all have some sort of date code for when they were made, not installed. I'm not sure what good that's going to do you. I've had some brands go bad and get rotten in five years. I've also got some no-name "el cheapos" on my plow truck that are 20 years old now and not a sign of rot.
Starting in year 2000, it's done like this. On at least one side of the tire, but NOT always both, the DOT code will show the date with the last four digits.
For example, if it shows "5107", that means the tire was made the 51st week of year 2007.
Before year 2000, only three digit codes were used. So a DOT code ending in 307 would mean the tire was built 30th week of the 7th year of the decade - i.e. it could be 1997, 1987, 1977, etc. No sure way to know.
