I don't see the logic in this. The roundabouts are essentially circles in the middle of a straight road. You turn to the left and right the same amount when going straight through the roundabouts so the wear should be even. If you consistently went 270 degrees around the roundabouts as opposed to going straight through I could see some preferential wear. The presence of roundabouts will probably increase tire wear overall compared with driving on a straight road without roundabouts but it isn't clear to me why it would preferentially pick on the right rear tire if you are primarily going straight through.
