How old is your freelander? There is a common problem with rear tyre "feathering" with the earlier freelanders before BMW got involved and I had exactly the same with my X reg 1.8 model, it's caused by the different axle ratios front and back to keep the transmission "tight". On later models BMW changed the ratios slightly (reduced the difference) and fixed the problem (the rear tyres on my TD4 lasted 80K miles!). I understand that one of the jobs to do on an early Freelander service was to swap the rear tyes over to help with this otherwise there is no cure.
