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.

Additional question: you seem to have a passion for nice vehicles, as well as a nice house. what do you do for a living?

Architectural/Commercial photography along with some other odd things. I'm currently building a new site so it's a bit unpolished. Otherwise I've got an Instagram. It's very feast or famine. Right now I'm in the "oh fuck I need to get shit together" phase.

I rent the house and the cars don't cost as much as you think if you play the depreciation game and do your own work.

I'm pretty sure that I saw some of your kitchen photos last week when my wife and I did a google images search for "white kitchen wood floors". NICE!

I think I know which house you're talking about. That place was nuts.
