A gauge wheel for an agricultural implement includes a tire. The tire includes a first circumferential section forming an axially inward portion of the tire. The first circumferential section comprises a lip extending radially outward from the tire and having an axially inward end configured to contact an opener disc. The lip also includes an axially outward end. Also, at least one cutout extends axially between the axially inward end and the axially outward end of the lip. Moreover, the at least one cutout is configured to enable displaced soil to move from the axially inward end to the axially outward end of the lip. The tire also includes a second circumferential section extending from the first circumferential section at the axially outward end of the lip and forming an axially outward portion of the tire.
