Those are caster specs.

Exactly my point, Swampers are relatively stiffly constructed tires and will need a different setup that a lesser, softer bias ply. A setup that drives great with say a load range C Geolander, probably isn't going to be the best if load range E BFG's are swapped on to it.
I run two sets of tires, both load range D. With the Nitto 295's my setup works to my liking, if anything slightly heavy in the caster effect. With the Coopers 37's it's very similar at low speed, around town, at high speed it has much more caster effect than I prefer.
It maybe because they are a hybrid bias/radial construction or because the larger tires put the contact patch center further behind the turning center. In the end it doesn't matter they are different tires. When I switch full time to the 37's will make a new set of arms that reduce the caster, this will also give a better driveshaft angle.
