Stupid Question

I just got my new tires and noticed that their are no valve stems on there. Is this normal? I have never just bought tires before so I would not have thought about it till I just looked and noticed that there are none.

they will be installed by the tire shop when you have them installed on wheels. they are not a part of the tire, they are a part of the tube when you have tubes inside your tires, but tubeless tires simply seal the tires to the rims, and then the valve stems are installed on the inside of the rim..
