We took the inner core out of the 44in tire I believe. I was not paying attention through most of it, I just think the fire ruined the entire valve.

The inner core was removed, the metal part the valve core threads into that sits in the rubber part of the valve stem is what blew out. And we actually found it 15 feet from the tire.
