Does anyone know how to read the tire code on a motorcycle tire to determine when it was manufactured?

Thanks

Metzler uses a four digit code that indicates the week and year it was made.

For example: 2203 means it was made in the 22nd week of 2003

Does anyone have a handle on the dating of pre-2000 tires? My FXDL had a Dunlop with a code of M86377 which I interprete to mean the 37th week of 1997. Can someone confirm this? Yes I know...way too old, but then again, I've had a Wing since 1998
