The front right tire on my p7 is wearing. Its the outside edge of it. The drivers side still looks good. Any ideas on what this could be ?

Get a ruler and check your front end alinement . Mine was off almost 3/8 of an inch. Make sure your steering wheel is centered

Ok.

There was issues with early models having weak frame and tweaking or ripping off the a-arms. That's silently been addressed by Honda. 2017 is good.

Ok then that's out of the way. Well with only one tire chewing itself it can only be a few things. As stated above the welds have broken in quite a few machines over the years that have caused this. So first I would check the upper and lower a-arm mounts for signs of ripping away or cra racked paint or even a rusty crack starting. If this machine caught a stump or even had a couple ruffs days. The a-arm mounts tear away from the frame and could cause this.
Seconds check the tie rod adjusters to see if they may have loosened themselves up. A few machines in the past have done this.
If you are the only owner then you should know if the vehicle has hit any hard times or even a tie rod can get bent too. Also as stated above you can check the toe by just watching how to check toe in vids on the internet that will better explain it then me.... hope we helped a little... keep us posted.

Thank you for the info. I will definitely check these things. But I am the first owner and have taken it easy with it. But my wife on the other hand she can be a little wild on that thing
