They are made by Bridgestone (look at the bottom of their website). They are a lower end tire but I ran Fuzion ZRi's on my '94 Cobra daily for years and never had any issues in the rain.

I've had fusions before, good inexpensive tire. I had 245's on my fox and never had any problems, even on cheap Kumho's.

I think the main problem with Foxes in the rain is a relatively good amount of torque off idle and the crappy 4-link rear not adequately controlling the rear axle. When the bushings get old it only gets worse.

Bushings will get you back to stock rain performance. Aftermarket control arms with better bushings would help more. Panhard bar even better...

Then that's what I'll do.....what bushings we talking about here, the new control arms have new bushings, what else should be replaced? Gears? Could there be something wrong with the rear end? Track lock diff. or something...

If you've got new arms you should be good on that unless you want to add a panhard bar.
Does it spin both tires or just 1 when you do a burnout? If your trac-lok is worn out then only spinning 1 tire will actually keep it from getting sideways but you aren't going to get going in any kind of hurry.

Your new control arms will have new bushings on both ends of the lower control arms, but will only have new bushings on one ends of the upper control arms.

There are separate bushings that are pressed into your differential that will need to be replaced when changing out your upper control arms. But make sure to get rubber bushings for the differential. You dont want to use urethane bushings on the differential.
