Narrative:

Departure was perfectly normal with no occurrences. Climb out phase of flight was also completely normal; going through some clouds but then proceeding into VFR conditions which remained the rest of the flight. Our altitude assigned was 41;000 which was later changed roughly 30-45 minutes into the flight to 45;000 for light turbulence. The flight remained completely normal throughout cruise phase. We were given our initial descent at around 140 miles out; [ATC] continued us straight down to 3;000 and told us to report the field in sight. Once leveled off at 3;000 the aircraft was slowed and the field was reported in sight. The approach controller cleared us for a visual approach. We then entered a left downwind for [the] runway; the winds were pretty light and out of the east. Flaps 15 was initially selected on downwind abeam the middle of the runway center point. Base was then turned about a 45 degree angle from the runway and gear was selected down at this point; followed by flaps 35. Final approach was turned at a normal point 3-4 miles from the runway and speed was completely under control the whole time and all profiles were [in compliance with] sops. Upon touchdown we noticed the main wheels were locked and the aircraft decelerated rapidly [and] the tires ruptured very quickly. We then slid on the rims to about halfway down the runway when the aircraft slowly veered to the left and slightly (couple feet) into the grass. There were no injuries; and passengers deplaned and thanked the crew for job well done. There also was no damage to airport property.

Title: CE-525 flight crew reported the main wheel brakes appeared to be locked at touchdown resulting in the failure of the main gear tires.
