Hope this helps, according to the decoder tyres are supposed to be changed after 6 years regardless of how many miles they have done.

After 10 years they are extremely hazardous.

Thanks Steve, I bought 2 new tyres recently and the fitter said he would do the dot codes for me. After the date, he said to throw out the tyres.
