I have 20k on mine and have the same issue. I really believe that the quality of the rubber has gone down significantly in the last 10 years or so. I used to be able to run boat trailer tires for 10 years or more before they would start to rot. Now they are checking the year after I buy them. I'll talk to Ford about it but it seems like a long shot at best.
I had the same issue and outcome on my 2010 raptor back in 2011. I received a set of new tires covered under Ford warranty - not one interaction with the tire manufacturer. There's a thread somewhere on here from that issue...

Maybe you need a new dealer?
My service manager has bent over backwards for me on a few occasions without asking. Everyone needs to find a shop like that!
This is the sole reason I will not own a new vehicle that isn't a Ford.

My dealer told me to call bfg that it was outside their realm of coverage
To the OP, congrats on having a dealership that takes care of you. Mine sucks. Had a rattle that wouldn't go away, made the service adviser ride with me to hear it and even when riding with he denied that he heard anything. Nothing major just a subtle yet constant plastic on plastic rattle.

I've since fixed it myself

I heard this noise while out in Death Valley on a really bad washboard road. I haven't replicated it though since... what was the fix?
Mine was every morning. The plastic sheet that is held to actual door with glue was falling off and laying against the door panel when it was cold. The cold caused the glue not to stick. But as soon as it got warm it was nice and tacky again and the rattle would go away. I removed the glue and applied some 3m double sided tape and then put foam on the plastic sheet to keep it from touching the panel. No rattles since.
