Default Tire age

Trying to find out how old my tires are. I always thought it was supposed to be after the DOT code but no date seems to be at the end.

Some tire manufacturers put it only on one side. And if you don’t see it on the outside, it’ll be on the inside. Crack a beer, get the jack out and take the tire off. It will be 4 digits in an oval.

Forgot to add, it will be 2 digit week followed by 2 digit year. (3808) would be 38th week of 2008.

Not seeing it in that pic, maybe on the part not shown.
As stated, 4 digits week and year.
