We used to think we could improve the trucks by making the front track a little wider than the rear, to eliminate the push. It works to a point. But, with better tires over the last 10 years, stability is less of a factor. And, the end (front or rear) that is wider gets less mechanical tire loading. In the end, the 'wider' end will loose grip (all else being perfect) first. So, Square is the rule.
