1. A gauge wheel tire, comprising:
a first polyurethane sidewall portion;
a second polyurethane sidewall portion spaced apart from the first polyurethane sidewall portion;
a polyurethane ground-engaging portion extending from the first polyurethane sidewall portion to the second polyurethane sidewall portion and adapted to contact a ground surface as the gauge wheel tire rotates about an axis of rotation; and
a polyurethane axial support portion extending from the first polyurethane sidewall portion to the second polyurethane sidewall portion, wherein the polyurethane axial support portion is spaced apart from the polyurethane ground-engaging portion to form a gap that allows radial movement of the polyurethane ground-engaging portion relative to the polyurethane axial support portion, wherein the polyurethane axial support portion comprises at least one integrally formed protrusion that extends radially upward into the gap to inhibit the polyurethane ground-engaging portion from moving radially inward beyond a height of the at least one integrally formed protrusion.
