Anyone know what this 4 digit code means om Schwalbe tires? These are Schwalbe One 35-349 size for Brompton. I'm trying to work out the manufacturing year, curious if these number indicate it such as 2018 and 2020. Someone said they were not related to manufacturing date but rather the production mold the tire came from.

Doubt they were manufactured in 1801
So in general, tires are dated with the week and the year. (0124) Would mean it was manufactured in the first week of 2024.
I’m not sure those specific numbers on your tires are dates. Or they might be dates with the week and year flipped
First two numbers is the week , and the last two are the year. Week 20 of 2005 and week 18 of 2001. From my understanding, could be totally wrong though.
First week of 2018 and fifth week of 2020
My guess would be the first month of 2018 and the fifth month of 2020
Our manufacturing facility follows the format yyww.
That would make these tyres the first week of 2018, and the fifth week of 2020
