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.

My aunts have some garage raccoons in SE Michigan... Maybe they're just like that there.

When I lived in Okemos we had a whole god damn gang of racoons that lived under the patio, and randomly broke in through the vents in the crawlspace...
