Narrative:

Departed after significant snow event occurred. Ramp and taxiways had slush and standing water. Runway was bare and wet; no contamination. During taxi out [we used] 3 wheel brake applications used to heat the brakes. After takeoff gear retraction delayed for approximately :20 seconds. Flight time was 4:50. Gear selected down and indicated 3 green. Parking brake extended to the second detent 3 times and stowed. A few seconds later brake annunciator illuminated. Minelco's checked and right-hand brake minelco was red. Runway length was not a factor so we continued the approach and landed. Approximately 10 seconds after touchdown the main gear tires failed. Mitigating factor could be the aircraft had been parked for 16 hours on the ramp which had 1 inch of slush and standing water. When aircraft has been subjected to standing water for a period of time the aircraft should be moved to a hangar or dry area for a period of time so brakes can dry. After the fact this appears as another one of those events that occurred.

Title: The four main tires of a DA2000 shredded on landing after a long flight in an aircraft that had been parked with the wheels in ice; slush and snow. Ice frozen brakes are suspected.
