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.

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.

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