Default A little help with DOT Code

I know how to read tire DOT codes week/year so 1215 is 12th week of year 2015. But this one is throwing me 009X. The first dot oval shows 4m88 and 2nd oval shows 009X? I am not sure what the 009X codes is saying 1st week of 2009?

Little Help please

Thanks

Dennis

According to this thread, you should look on the other side of the tire where it will show the traditional date code...not sure if it is true but take a look and let us know.

The seller sent me a picture and this is what it shows which is why I could not figure it out? They are run flats which is a tire I have not used. Are run flats directional? The 009X is in the oval after the 4m88 which I thought might be the batch/production code? I will go back to the seller and see if there is a code I can read on the other 3 tires.
