Yes, as with most things tire-related, there's a trade-off between traction and rolling resistance. For example, bald, over-inflated tires have great rolling resistance, but poor traction, whereas big, nobby mud tires get great traction and have poor rolling resistance.
That being said, I think the trade-off can be affected somewhat by tire compounds and tread designs.
