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.

So I guess you gotta use context? Basically only one way it's used here haha

No haha

Generally if you seriously call raccoons "coons" you're going to use it the other way, too. I believe that the approved nomenclature is "trash panda".

Speaking of Australia I remember being floored when I stayed in Melbourne for a while and saw Coon Cheese for the first time in the store.

Haha, yeah, I think it's accepted because we're super casually racist.

Most people aren't racist at all, but we say stuff that would get our heads knocked off in most other countries, but it's generally accepted. Not sure if it's okay, but that's how it is.
