A noticeable weakness of the R5 is relatively poor resistance to aquaplaning. I believe this also translates into poor resistance to slushplaning.
In the MOTOR/ViBilagare testing of 235/55R18 tires, the R5 had the worst hydroplaning result of the 8 tires tested. It's float speed was 60.3 km/hr
In the TyreReview testing of 205/55R16 tires, the R5 had the worst hydroplaning result of the 8 tires tested. It's float speed was 71.5 km/hr
