Default brake question

Ok. I know that bigger rotors equals more contact with the brake pad so better stopping power which equals faster stopping and the better chance of locking your wheels.

Now my question is yes you upgrade the rotors but does that always mean you are going to get better stopping distance because of the fact that when you stop your brakes you lock up the tires and slide for 30 feet. Would wider tires (more contact patch help) or is there something i'm missing here?
