Brake rotor size isn't really a determining factor in stopping distance (for a single emergency stop), if the brakes are powerful enough to lock the tire and activate ABS then they will get the job done in equal fashion. Repeated application is a whole different story, and one that isn't typically told by these kinds of test.

The braking distance in these 60-0 tests is basically a factor of tire size and efficiency of the ABS brake force distribution.
