self sealing sounds like some james bond gadget. never heard of it.

run flat tires are something all GS come with standard. they have a much stiffer sidewall which lets them run for a certain number of miles without being torn to shreds as long as you keep the speed under 50mph (or something like that).

Self seal = goo that comes out to seal when there is a puncture.

Run flat = support inside.

One still have air inside, the other is "flat" and I'll let you guess which is which.
