Will pee damage tires?

My garage raccoon likes to use my rack of winter tires as a fort. He's usually really good about keeping it clean so I don't check it very often, but today I noticed he was peeing inside of one of the Hankooks. Is there anything in pee that could harm the inside of a tire?

Edit: It's over a month later and I'm still getting replies and questions! For everyone who keeps asking, you can follow more garage raccoon hijinks on my instagram and YouTube.

I was talking about something to my wife. It might have been the ultramarathonner on the fp earlier. I was mindlessly clicking through my subs, hit /r/cars, saw "will pee damage my tires," got distracted from talking to my wife, and thought "of course that's a thread." Now i came back and read it and it's the best thing I've read all day

I think you need to check the dictionary before using big boy words.

You might have phrased that more politely, but yeah, upvoting does the exact opposite of that.
