Is there a BMX wheel that lies between race and freestyle in terms of width and grip?

I am interested to know because I know on MTB people often put on a slightly narrower wheel with slightly less grip closer to a racer wheel for better town/city performance, and was wondering if there was anything similar with BMX wheels and tyres.
Being able to travel distance with less effort is important in this question, my understanding is a racer bike on a flat piece of tarmac could travel longer and quicker with less effort than an MTB with offroad tires on. However a medium is needed to prevent changing tyres all the time.

    I have Maxxis Holy Rollers on my BMX Racing bike. It has good grip on the track and I can ride around the streets with no problems.
