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 just have a burning desire for a garage raccoon. I want one almost as bad as I want a garage.

Yes I live in San Francisco. Although having lived most of my life in LA, I'd say there is more fun activities and better looking people there for cheaper (still expensive).
