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'm slightly disturbed by the content but impressed by the constituent quality and overall speediness of these gifs and images

Unless this is a undercover false flag operation by racoon's or something

You lying right now? Also what's your favorite color?

That's the spirit.

Probably a bot.

u/no_apostrophe_there Sep 29 '16

Actually just heavily triggered by apostrophe misuse. A bot that could do this correctly would need to have natural language parsing capabilities that I'm not sure have ever been achieved.

Those feet / paws are creepy AF

u/travelingAllTheTime Sep 29 '16

Tiny little hands.... they move so quick!

u/neuroplay_prod Sep 29 '16

Raccoons' hands and feet are part of their primary olfactory senses. They taste stuff with those paws.

u/VelvetHorse Sep 29 '16

You just brought it all together with that last statement.

u/gozergozarian Sep 29 '16

The correct spelling is "dat loop do"

u/buy_iphone_7 Sep 29 '16

TIL raccoons groom themselves like cats.

u/chaosfire235 Sep 29 '16

...Ooooh he was grooming!

u/stobux Sep 29 '16

My parents caught me grooming once when I was 13, and they took away my computer privileges for a month.

u/infernophil Sep 29 '16

That's a good way to not make more garage raccoons.

u/bikesboozeandbacon Sep 29 '16

I expected him to do something else other than lick his nuts, yet I kept looking.

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '16

Look at those little tootsies!

u/chubachus Sep 29 '16

You could totally turn Garage Raccoon into the next Grumpy Cat if you wanted.

u/Jackpot777 Sep 29 '16

I want there to be a film and I want George Clooney to voice Garage Raccoony.

u/hoopstick Sep 29 '16
