Same brakes, wheels and tires, yes. Or you could build an equation for that too with all the contributing aspects represented, one of which would be weight. The weight contribution would always be tending to lower the total stopping distance, but you might not see it if the road were slippery or the rims were wet or the brake pads were glazed, etc. Same situation.
