Yes. Tires get hotter when speed is increased causing more wear. Example- Racing car tires wear out very quickly because of speed combined with high heat. Indy cars and cars used in Nascar may only get a few laps before needing changing.
Addition:
The effect isn't as drastic on passenger tires but speed does effect wear.

Do tires on the front wear out faster than the back?
Only on a front wheel drive vehicle. On a rear wheel drive the rear tires wear faster. rotate your tires every 10,000 miles and they will wear evenly.
Why do the front tires on a car wear faster than the back tires?
Because they are used for steering and get more wear.
Why the front wheels of tractors are tilted?
So it can wear out the outer tread faster thus causing faster front tire wear which will help to sell more front tires.
Do front or rear tires wear out faster on a rear-wheel drive car?
Rear
What will happen if you use snow tires in summer?
You wear them out faster and they do not give adequate grip on rainy days.
Tire wear bars?
When the tire tread wears down to the wear bars, the tires are ready for replacement.
Is there any need to recalibrate the speed sensor on mack trucks. mine seems to be off?
Possibly, but it could be tire wear, as well. A new tire typically has 28/32nds tread depth.. this decreases as the tires wear down.
Are re-treaded tires just as good as new tires?
No, since they dont have the original tread, they tend to wear down quicker.
Why are your front tires always low on air?
Front tyres wear faster on FWDs and with understeer, more worn tires will be more permeable to air. In fact unless you like doing heaps of fishys, doughys and burnouts, your tyres will wear faster than the front in any well balanced car.
How do I know when my tires are worn down and I need to replace them?
Tires have molded indicators called "wear bars." If these are visible across the tread pattern, your tires need to be replaced.
Where would the tread of a tire be worn out if the tire were under-inflated?
Underinflated tires wear faster on the sides than the middle.
Is it necessary to balance your tires when they are rotated?
It is necessary to balance your tires when they are rotated because blancing results in equal air pressure on all 4 tires. Less air in one of the tires will result in faster wear, resulting in the need to rotate more often.
