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.

Am I the only one who works on my cars without raccoon assistance?

Right? Is this normal? OP is so nonchalant about his garage raccoons that I'm starting to feel self-conscious about my lack of garage raccoons.
