Dunno if it's different for car tyres, but bike tyres are only recommended for up to two years after manufacture. I doubt that stops a lot of
people. The manufacture date is printed as a 4 digit code, first two digits are the week number, the last two are the last two digits of the year.
As I said, dunno if it's different for car tyres.

Usually old tyres tend to show cracks in sidewalls or in between treads. I have signs of this on mine. If so usually best to replace with new.
