  My tires 6x16, have a DOT 137 on them. Year of mfg?

  My understanding of the old three-digit code: first two digits are week of manufacture, last digit is the year.

137:
made in the thirteenth week of 1997. Or 1987. (or 1977? I think not, I think this date code system started around 1980)

Yes, can't tell what decade! That's why starting in year 2000, manufacturers were required to use a four digit date code.
