Have a look in the following report: http://www.nlr-atsi.nl/eCache/ATS/14/919.pdf , section 5.2.3.

Note that thrust reverses are most effective on slippery runways. On dry runways tire braking can add a lot more to the total deceleration than reversers (there are some good articles on this by Boeing).
