I don't think you can give a single figure for TR deceleration, as it depends a lot on aircraft mass; TRs will be more effective on an empty aircraft.
Wheel brakes are not affected by aircraft mass, as the ground friction increases proportionately with weight, so a set deceleration can be achieved. (up to the point where the brakes become too hot.)
