Narrative:

We landed at dfw in light snow. It took us 30 minutes to taxi to the general aviation ramp. We proceeded to fuel and load the passenger. We determined that the aircraft needed de-icing. We waited almost 4 hours for our turn to get de-iced. During this time it continued to snow at various rates with the temp around 0 degrees. After de-icing; we were cleared into position and hold for take-off. We were cleared for take-off almost immediately. We left the gear out to get rid of any ice/snow. The approach was normal in VMC conditions. We lowered the gear about 5 miles out. The left main touched first followed by the right main. Immediately after the right main touched down the aircraft drifting right. I applied full left rudder to very little effect. I then used left brake to help maintain directional control. The aircraft came to a halt on the right side of the runway. The right main tires blew from being in a 'locked' condition. The first officer advised ATC that we where disabled on the runway. The aircraft was then towed clear of the runway. I believe it would have helped if dfw reported taxi way snow slush depths on ATIS and had the taxi ways cleared from the de-ice pad to the runway. The runway was in good condition. Most limitations are for runway condition and not taxi conditions up to the runway. Our company is now planning to change our SOP to include taxiway limitations even if the runway is in good condition.

Title: A Lear 45 crew reported blowing tires on landing after departing from an airport that had snow on the taxiways; presumably resulting in frozen; locked wheels upon landing.
