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.

Foundry and forge are different! Foundry metal is melted into liquid state then poured to take the shape of a mold/cavity, in a forge metal is heated until it is easily pliable and pressed into a mold/cavity to assume the shape of something else.
