I'll give some credit to the sub-freezing ambient temperature. But no on the self sealing. There was no object in the puncture hole. I found the hole because I had the tire at head level and the exhaust from the puncture hit me in the face. The tire aired out in under two minutes. I have a lift and compressed air. I checked it 3 times.
My point is that low aspect ratio tires rated at an XL load capacity are as good or near as good as RFT.
