Default RE: World Models inflatable tires

Not sure what's going on with this setup. The needle will fit but pretty tight. After insertion, there's no air moving through the valve. I opened up the tire and this is what the valve looks like. There is a rubber sleeve over the plastic valve, covering a hole in the side of the valve. Blowing through the external valve hole, air does not go through. Not sure what to make of this. It almost looks like I need a large amount of pressure to force air through the side hole and through the silicone sleeve. Never seen anything like it. Any ideas?
