Newer fords have intelligent oil life monitor. It looks at the engine parameters including temp and tells you when to change it - usually between 7000 - 10000 miles. OEM tires are not covered by a tread wear warranty (outside of a special maintenance plan). If you want them rotated every 5K just do it yourself or take it by a local shop - only takes a few minutes and a few bucks.

There are several tire manufacturers that supply tires as OEM equipment on Fords and DO include a mileage warranty. Some that do not cover mileage will still cover defects and workmanship for up to 6 years from purchase or 2/32 tread wear remaining, or other limits set by each manufacturer. Pirelli covers unlimited time or mileage for workmanship or defects according to the tire warranty provided with my 2013 Edge based on thread wear remaining.

 

It's important to check your tire brand and the warranty it came with from the factory to learn exactly what your coverage actually is. Link below for the 2013 Tire Warranty I have for my 2013 Edge. BF Goodrich and Michelin are just two manufacturers who provide mileage warranties on certain models of OEM provided tires. Most have defect and workmanship warranties beyond the Ford bumper to bumper limits.
