Tire year of manufacture?

I have a set of Michelin pilot sports.

I believe that the year the tire was manufactured is on the sidewall? Could anyone tell me how to identify it? I bought the tires used and would like to know how old they are.

Thanks

It's the last 4 numbers after the DOT# - Usually on the inside of the tire as the DOT# is on both sides, one has a longer number...For instance if the last 4 are 3408, it would be the 34th week of 2008...If it was 3498 it would be 34th week of 1998...
