The 5th picture shows the build date. Looks like the 38th or 39th week of 2007.

With the long numbers were made in last century. There is a site that siphers them numbers. Being that they are bias tires they will run a long time.

No, tires made in the last century would mostly have only 3 digits. Two for the week, third being the last number of the year. The fourth digit was added in 2000 IIRC.

All tires must have a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) number, which indicates that the tire has passed all minimum DOT standards for sale in the United States. This code represents the manufacturer and the factory where the tire was made, as well as manufacturer-specific coding used for tracking in the case of a recall. The last four numbers give the date of production the first two indicate which of the 52 weeks in a year it was made, and the second two numbers represent the year. For example, 5200 indicates that a tire was manufactured during the 52nd week of the year 2000.
