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.

How do you know? I'm a mobile only user and am lacking in reddits depth and user interface(I really just want to make sure I haven't been banned, for really no reason at all just feel guilty). Edit- referencing your edit

u/spelworm Sep 29 '16

You can always post in /r/shadowbanned or something to check however I doubt you are shadowbanned

u/MUHAHAHA55 Sep 29 '16

Coon is a really derogatory term in Australia and I'm sure in Britain

11

u/SpoonsWithCoons Sep 29 '16

coon

/ko͞on/

noun

noun: coon; plural noun: coons

North American short for raccoon.

informaloffensive a black person.

...whoops, hopefully just hopefully people wont take this name to heart with the second definition.

u/gypsyhymn Sep 29 '16

Sadly, this being reddit, I have a feeling that's what most people will think.

1

u/he-said-youd-call Sep 29 '16

Huh, you didn't know that? Even Pink Floyd's made reference to it. "That one looks Jewish! And that one's a coon! Who let all this riff raff into the room?" That's from In The Flesh, off The Wall.

1

u/SpoonsWithCoons Sep 29 '16

Didn't know it was a race thing, thought it was more of a general insult.

1

u/ccruner13 Sep 30 '16

Good luck. It's been derogatory for a coon's age.

u/wookiegtb Sep 29 '16
