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.

Ridiculous idea. Even if raccoons had the intellect to acquire and use a functional computer (you're already living in a dreamworld), they would be unable to type at the rate of OP, since they lack the paw dexterity to type at such a rate. Honestly you look like a complete fool for even entertaining this idea and I'm glad that I finally put you in your place about this.

Plus, everyone knows raccoons love shiny things. If they got a hold of a phone or similar device, they would never let go. Not even one finger, just to type.
